The subject matter of this course comprises the application of geometric optics to the specific case of ophthalmic lenses, prisms, and the eye.
While the basic fact of clinical practice requires the diagnosis and treatment of different ocular pathology, the vast majority of patients you might see have no pathology indeed and are seeking vision care for refractive or binocular problems. Managing these two important
practices (refraction and binocular vision) requires the understanding and application of ophthalmic optics on basis of geometrical optics.
The goal of this course is to teach the important properties of lenses and prisms as they affect the performance of the eye and eyeglass prescription.
