Objective

Knowledge base
Students are able to

• describe basic physical characteristics of light (the wavy nature and aberrations of light, the behavior of light in media, polarization and light passage through multiple polarizers, image quality, diffraction and interference).
• describe and solve problems by calculating and drawing a human eye as an optical system
• describe the basic features of lighting and guide in choosing the right lighting
• calculate power effect in different vertex distance
• calculate, measure and describe the effect of prism on spectacle lenses and the elimination of unwanted prism effect and use of that in the purpose meaning
• calculate and describe the magnification effect of spectacles and design solutions in the case of aniseiconic cases
• describe the properties of eye protection and sunglasses

Clinical/practical
Students are able to
Work placement, 1 week, 2 ECTS including Positia:
• advise and dispense the most appropriate spectacles, sunglasses and safety glasses with regard to durability and comfort (anatomy), as well as cosmetic and lifestyle considerations.
• measure single-power and multifocal spectacles, taking into account standards.
• adjust spectacles, taking into account the characteristics of different frame materials
• grind single-power and multifocal spectacles
• perform simple spectacle services and repairs
• identify frame materials and know how to select special treatments

Content

Physical Optics:
Wave optics and aberrations:
• Characteristics of wave motion
• Classifications of the electromagnetic spectrum
• Total and partial coherence
• Diffraction (single slit, circular aperture, limits of resolution, zone plates)
• Interference (double slit, multiples slits, thin film, antireflective coatings, holography)
• Scattering (Rayleigh compared to Tyndall)
• Dispersion

Interaction of light and matter:
• Atomic energy levels, absorption and emission line spectra
• Continuous spectra
• Fluorescence (photons, energy levels)
• Lasers (theory of operation, speckle pattern)
• Spectral transmission
• Light emitting diodes (LED)

Polarization:
• Linear polarized light
• Circular and elliptical polarization
• Polarization by reflection (glare reduction, Brewster’s law)
• Effect of scattering on polarization
• Transmission through successive polarizers (stress analysis, Malus’ law)

Image quality:
• Resolving power
• Point and line spread function
• Modulation transfer function (Fourier optics)

Visual Optics:
Radiation of the eye:
• Radiometry (radiant, intensity, radiance, and irradiance)
• Photometry (Luminosity function, luminous intensity, luminance, and illuminance, Lambertian surfaces-cosine laws)
• Spectral transmission of the ocular media
• Retinal illuminance
• Effects of radiation (especially infrared, visible and ultraviolet)
Schematic eye models:
• Dioptric components
• Cardinal points, entrance and exit pupils
• Ametropia: far point, near point, correction
• Accommodation: amplitude and effectivity
• Astigmatism, including correction
• Retinal image size, spectacle magnification, and relative spectacle magnification
• Apertures
• Entrance and exit pupil size and location
Optics of the eye:
• Characteristics of components (curvature, thickness, separation, refractive indices, and axial length)
• Reference angles and axes
• Retinal image size
• Optical function of the pupil – depth of field
Quality of retinal image:
• Aberrations
-spherical
-chromatic
-coma
-curvature
-oblique astimatism
-distortion
• Diffraction and stray light
• Point and line spread functions
Wave front technology and its use in optometry


Spectacle lenses:

• Power effect distance and near and vertex distance
• spectacle magnifications
o shape and power factors
o relative spectacle magnifications
o iseiconic lenses
• lens prism and prismatic effect
o thickness differences in lens by the prism
o combination of thin prisms
o resolution of an oblique prism into horizontal and vertical components, oblique prism
o prism effect in near distances
• vertical prism eliminations aniseiconic cases
o Slab off, prism segment, Fresnell prism, taking account of height

o Safety goggles and sun glasses
-absorptive lenses
-specification of lens tints and absorptive coatings
-characteristics of photochromic lenses
Spectacles for safety , occupational and hobby purpose:
