Title: Identify optics of the eye.
Course: Vision Care Technician I (14057-I) > Section: Exploring the Anatomy and Physiology of the Eye

Identification should include

- using appropriate terminology
- identifying the characteristics of physical optics
- identifying the characteristics of geometric optics
- identifying the characteristics of ophthalmic optics
- determining focal length and power of lens
- comparing the properties of concave and convex lenses
- explaining the uses of prisms as they apply to ophthalmology
- calculating focal point (D = 1/f) for both concave and convex lenses
- identifying problems presented by spherical and chromatic aberration
- identifying lens aberrations and their solutions
- calculating transposition.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the difference between being far-sighted and near-sighted?
- What is the difference between astigmatism, and presbyopia?
- What types of prisms are used in ophthalmology?
