|
What does the Tscherning ellipse tell us with reference to lens design and lens aberrations?
|
there is a relationship between the physical form of the lens and the prescription of a lens for which MARGINAL ASTIGMATISM can be minimized. Since the physical form of the lens is related to the design, optimizing these features would directly impact the expected aberration from the lens.
|
|
What is the significance of the family of Tscherning ellipses?
|
there are many variables in the lens design that will impact the ellipse.
so for each variable the ellipse will take on a slightly different range of values for which MA may be minimized. variables include: lens thickness, lens index, viewing angle, viewing distance. the family of Tscherning ellipse represent all of these ellipses and the lens designer must choose which one is good for the patient. |

|

|
|
Define relative spectacle magnification
|
magnification is the comparison of the corrected ametropic retinal image size and the emmetrope retinal image size.
|
|
Define what is far point sphere and what is its significance with reference to a specific monochromatic aberration
|
the far point sphere is the sphere representing the locus of points conjugate to the fovea and generated by the eye as it rotates about its center of rotation. When the FPS is compared with the petzval surface, any difference that is presented between these two conic surfaces is a representation of the presence of curvature of field or power error
|
|
What does the petzval surface represent?
|
a representation of the situation where no marginal astigmatism exists and theorteically lies at the same position where the secondary focal point of the lens is.
-the surface is possible because when a flat object is imaged through a curved lens, the image is not flat but rather curved. |

|
Upper--Wollaston, lower--ostwalkt
The graph represents the relationship between the front curve (or back curve) of the lens with the lens vertex power in order to reduce MA. in the calculation for the best form lens, the QUADRATIC EQUATION gives to possible roots. One is steeper and the other is flatter. The steeper ones have a higher value and are on the upper part of the ellipse--Wollaston. The flatter is on the lower part of the ellipse in the Ostwalt curve. |
|
with reference to reducing the amount of vertical imbalance, why and how does the use of dissimilar segments represent an appropriate management tool for minimizing the prism?
|
it apples the CONCEPT OF TOTAL DIFFERENTIAL DISPLACEMENT AT THE READING LEVEL. So with each lens the goal is to select a segment that helps to reduce the amount of vertical prism from the major lens. the results is that the segment OC needs to belower or higher in the segment to induce the amount of prism in the opposite direction from the major lens. as each lens will have different amount of prism due to the difference in their power, the segment will help to reduce the imbalance between the two lenses will also be different; hence the concept of dissimilar segments.
