2018-2019 BCSC (Basic and Clinical Science Course), Section 03: Clinical Optics

Description

Major Revision This year Section 3 is updated to include nine videos, a Quick-Start guide to optics and how to refract, and each chapter now includes highlights and a glossary. This section provides a comprehensive overview of clinical optics, including current applications of optical phenomena such as lasers, spectacles, IOLs and refractive surgery. Presents optics of the human eye; basic concepts of geometric optics; ophthalmic instruments and contact lenses. Vision rehabilitation is also discussed. Includes real-life clinical examples, figures and learning exercises to help gauge your understanding of the material. Upon completion of Section 3, readers should be able to: *Outline the principles of light propagation and image formation and work through some of the fundamental equations that describe or measure such properties as refraction, reflection, magnification and vergence *Define the various types of visual perception and function, including visual acuity, brightness sensitivity, color perception and contrast sensitivity *Explain the optical principles underlying various modalities of refractive correction: spectacles, contact lenses, intraocular lenses and refractive surgery Recently revised: 2018 2019 Section chair: Scott E.
