REFRACTIVE ERRORS

    SPS Y2-2012
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TODAY?
• A little bit of optics

• Refractive media of the eye

• How the eye interacts with light

• Refractive Errors
OPTICS 101
                “REFRACTION”




                                    Emergent ray


                    Refracted ray
Incident ray
OPTICS 101: REFRACTION
OPTICS 101: ACCEPT IT!
• Light rays coming from infinity (e.g. sun, stars,
  galaxies) are parallel


• All other light rays that originate from an object
  (TV, bulb, book) are divergent

• Us ophthalmologists consider a distance of 6
  meters or more as infinity
OPTICS 101: LENSES
                                     CONVEX LENS

                   MORE CONVERGING POWER
      AMOUNT OF CONVERGENCE DEPENDENT ON NATURE OF INCIDENT RAYS
SO FAR
• Convex Lenses converge Light

• The thicker the lens the greater the
  convergence

• Thicker lenses = More power = More
  convergence

• Amount of convergence depends on the type
  of incident rays

                 MORE DIVERGING POWER
AMOUNT OF DIVERGENCECE DEPENDENT ON NATURE OF INCIDENT RAYS
…
• Concave Lenses diverge Light

• The thicker the lens the greater the
  divergence

• Thicker lenses = More power = More
  divergence

• Amount of divergence depends on the type of
  incident rays
RECAP
Convex lenses converge




Thicker the lens, the greater the power, more the
convergence




Amount of convergence depends on nature of incident
rays
RECAP
Diverging lenses diverge




Thicker the lens, the greater the power, more the
divergence




Amount of divergence depends on nature of incident
rays

The Next few slides introduces a new term
“DIOPTER”

It will require some attention

If you think its too difficult, don’t worry. Most
ophthalmologists are in the same boat 
DIOPTER
• Measures the divergence (spread) or
  convergence of light. The ‘power’ of light

• Calculated as n/d
  – n = refractive index of medium (1 = air)
  – d = distance from lens that measurements are
    taken (in meters)

• Minus for Diverging light
• Plus for Converging light
DIOPTER

                                                      As the distance increase.
                                                      The spread of light also
                                                      increases. The power
                                                      contained in the light
                                                      beam decreases as it is
* Power = n/d                                         spread ‘too thin’
* n=1
* ‘-’ sign for diverging light




                            P = -1/ 0.5. P =-2D   P = -1/ 1. P =-1D    P = -1/ 2. P =-.5D

DIOPTER
• The Diopter also signifies the power of lens

• The more the power the more the converging
  or diverging ability of the lens

• Minus for Diverging lens (just like light rays)
• Plus for Converging lens (just like light rays)
DIOPTER

                   humor

                                    humor




We only consider Cornea and Lens
The refractive index of aqueous humor equates to that of cornea
The refractive TRANSPARENT MEDIA ARE RESPONSIBLE of lens

Lens = 20D (18D)
OPTICS OF THE EYE
           The lens is able to change its shape
           The stimulus is a blurred image
           The lens tries to bring the image into focus just like a camera
           For near tasks (reading) the lens ‘thickens’ increasing power
           This is called accommodation

ACCOMODATION
ACCOMODATION
ACCOMODATION
RECAP
• Light rays coming from infinity (>6m) are focused by a resting (non-
  accommodating) eye on the retina

• Light rays coming from a finite distance (<6m) produce a blur image on the
  retina

• This blur image forces the eye to accommodate

• Accommodation involves constriction of ciliary muscles to make the lens
  thicker (more power)

• Thicker lens then focuses the light rays back onto the retina

• Amount of accommodation depends on the distance of the near object

• The eye will always try to focus a blurred image on the retina

• Remembering this simple fact will help clear A LOT of confusion
EMMTEROPIA
EMMTEROPIA = Equal Measure = No Refractive Error = Desirable optical system




                      RESTING EYE




   ACCOMMODATING EYE
REFRACTIVE ERRORS
• A fault in the mechanism of Refraction

• Produces a blur image on the retina

• Can be for far (infinite; >6m)objects

• As well as for near (finite; <6m) objects

• AMMETROPIA = Not Equal Measure
NEAR VISION ERROR
(READING ERRORS)
PRESBYOPIA
• Presby = Old + Hard (Rigid)
• Opia = sight

•   An age related phenomena (40 Years)
•   Weakness in ciliary muscles
•   Can’t contract as much as before
•   Lens can’t accommodate as well
•   Thus can’t focus for near objects
•   Becomes worse with advancing age
PRESBYOPIA
                   What do old
                 people do to read
                  without glasses




As the object is moved further
The light rays spread more decreasingnullify power
  The eye will try to accommodate to their the blur
(Diopter; Power = n/d) more accommodative effort left
  It will fail as there is no
Light striking the cornea will have lower power
  (muscles are too weak)
Less accommodative effort then can help focus the light rays
CORRECTING PRESBYOPIA WITH
               LENSES




A Convex lens corrects presbyopic error. HELP BRING THE LIGHT TO FOCUS
                  WHAT TYPE OF LENS CAN
In fact any refractiveTHE RETINA? the light focuses behind the retina is corrected
                  ON error in which
by a convex lens
As muscle weakens with increasing age so does the power of correcting lens
A lens that corrects a refractive error is called a correcting lens
DISTANT VISION ERRORS
     (infinity; 6m)
DISTANT VISION ERRORS: RULES
• ALL ERRORS ARE DEFINED WITH THE
  FOLLOWING CONDITIONS
  – Light rays are parallel (coming from distance)
  – The eye is at rest (not accommodating)
  – The error is defined based on where the light
    focuses
     • Hyperopia/ Hypermetropia (Long measure)
     • Myopia (Short measure)
DISTANT VISION ERROR I: HYPEROPIA
   (also known as hypermetropia)
How does
    eye react
                   HYPERMETROPIA
    to ‘blur’ voluntarily (unknowing to the patient) accommodates
      *The eye
      to the blurred image
          For a box of candy:
      *Most hyperopes don’t even know they have a refractive error
           A common of lens canpatient’s vision a short error?
           What type hyperopic be used to correct this using
          Help fix this cause of hypermetropia iswithout eye ball
      *They are latent hyperopes
          lenses                                                   …focusing
      *Only when they start getting older and they loose their
      accommodative power do they find out the truth               behind the
                           Convex Lens
      *Their hyperopia then becomes                                  retina
       It
      manifest
accommodates!




                 Parallel light
                    rays…

                                       …while eye is at rest…
                                       (Not Accommodating)
RECAP: HYPEROPIA
• A distance vision refractive error

• Parallel light rays focus behind the retina in a resting eye

• The eye automatically compensates for the error by
  accommodating

• Corrected with a convex lens, just like presbyopia (a near
  vision refractive error)

• Just because both these types of errors are corrected by
  the same lens mean they are the same error!
DISTANT VISION ERROR II: MYOPIA
…accommodation             MYOPIA
       *Inof any help?
           Myopia accommodation would create a blurrier image!
       *As it is not possible to relax accommodation
       *Accommodation has of be used involuntary correction of myopia
            A common cause no role in to long eye ball
         What type of lens can myopia is acorrect this error?
       *A corrective aid must be used to fix myopia              …focusing in
                                                                  front of the
                       Concave Lens                                  retina
  The eye always
reacts to a blurred
      image!




                 Parallel light
                    rays…

                                       …while eye is at rest…
                                       (Not Accommodating)
RECAP: MYOPIA
• A distance vision refractive error

• Parallel light rays focus in front of the retina in a
  resting eye

• The eye CAN NOT automatically compensate for
  the error by accommodating

• Corrected with a concave lens, unlike presbyopia
  (a near vision refractive error) and hyperopia
WAIT THERE IS MORE…
• It is possible to reshape the surface of the cornea with laser

• The cornea can be reshaped into a convex or concave lens
  using ultra-violet laser

• The laser used is called EXCIMER

• Three types of procedures:
   – Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK; Common)
   – Laser insitu Keratomelusis (LASIK)
   – Laser Intra-epithelial Keratomelusis (LASEK)

• Oh, and Contacts lenses can also used!

Refractive errors

  • 1. REFRACTIVE ERRORS SPS Y2-2012
  • 2.
  • 3.
  • 4. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TODAY? • A little bit of optics • Refractive media of the eye • How the eye interacts with light • Refractive Errors
  • 5. OPTICS 101 “REFRACTION” Emergent ray Refracted ray Incident ray
  • 7. OPTICS 101: ACCEPT IT! • Light rays coming from infinity (e.g. sun, stars, galaxies) are parallel • All other light rays that originate from an object (TV, bulb, book) are divergent • Us ophthalmologists consider a distance of 6 meters or more as infinity
  • 8. OPTICS 101: LENSES CONVEX LENS 3M Parallel light raysrays (incident) Divergent light (incident) Converging light rays (emergent) 3M MORE CONVERGING POWER AMOUNT OF CONVERGENCE DEPENDENT ON NATURE OF INCIDENT RAYS
  • 9. SO FAR • Convex Lenses converge Light • The thicker the lens the greater the convergence • Thicker lenses = More power = More convergence • Amount of convergence depends on the type of incident rays
  • 10. OPTICS 101: LENSES CONCAVE LENS Virtual Image 3M (not really important for us) Parallel light rays (incident) Divergent light rays (incident) Divergent light rays (emergent) 3M Virtual Image MORE DIVERGING POWER AMOUNT OF DIVERGENCECE DEPENDENT ON NATURE OF INCIDENT RAYS
  • 11. … • Concave Lenses diverge Light • The thicker the lens the greater the divergence • Thicker lenses = More power = More divergence • Amount of divergence depends on the type of incident rays
  • 12. RECAP Convex lenses converge Thicker the lens, the greater the power, more the convergence Amount of convergence depends on nature of incident rays
  • 13. RECAP Diverging lenses diverge Thicker the lens, the greater the power, more the divergence Amount of divergence depends on nature of incident rays
  • 15.
  • 16. The Next few slides introduces a new term “DIOPTER” It will require some attention If you think its too difficult, don’t worry. Most ophthalmologists are in the same boat 
  • 17. DIOPTER • Measures the divergence (spread) or convergence of light. The ‘power’ of light • Calculated as n/d – n = refractive index of medium (1 = air) – d = distance from lens that measurements are taken (in meters) • Minus for Diverging light • Plus for Converging light
  • 18. DIOPTER As the distance increase. The spread of light also increases. The power contained in the light beam decreases as it is * Power = n/d spread ‘too thin’ * n=1 * ‘-’ sign for diverging light P = -1/ 0.5. P =-2D P = -1/ 1. P =-1D P = -1/ 2. P =-.5D d .5m 1m 2m
  • 19. DIOPTER • The Diopter also signifies the power of lens • The more the power the more the converging or diverging ability of the lens • Minus for Diverging lens (just like light rays) • Plus for Converging lens (just like light rays)
  • 20. DIOPTER Power of emergent rays: Algebraically add power of light rays & power of lens Pe = -1+ (+2) =+1D + = convergent rays 1D = Power of 1D Remember: P = n/d +2D Can we find out the image +1 = 1/d location from D = 1*+1 this data? D=1m 1m 1m Power of light rays at lens: Image formed at 1m from P = -1/ 1. P =-1D lens
  • 21. DIOPTER Power of emergent rays: Algebraically add power of light rays & power of lens Pe = -1+ (-2) =-3D - = divergent rays 3D = Power of 3D Remember: P = n/d -2D Can we find out the image -3 = 1/d location from D = 1/-3 this data? D= -.33m .33m 1m Image formed Power of light rays at at .33m from lens: lens P = -1/ 1. P =-1D
  • 22. DIOPTER • Measures power of light rays as well as lenses • Is ‘+’ for Converging light rays and lenses • Is ‘-’ for Diverging light rays and lenses • Light ray lens interaction is calculated algebraically
  • 24. THE OPTICS OF EYE Aqueous Vitreous LENS Cornea humor humor We only consider Cornea and Lens The refractive index of aqueous humor equates to that of cornea The refractive TRANSPARENT MEDIA ARE RESPONSIBLE of lens index of vitreous humor equates to that FOR Total Power ofREFRACTION AS(54D) ALLOW LIGHT TO PASS the eye ~ 60D THEY Cornea = 40D THROUGH TO THE RETINAin refractive index) (36D) [Greater difference Lens = 20D (18D)
  • 25. OPTICS OF THE EYE The lens is able to change its shape The stimulus is a blurred image The lens tries to bring the image into focus just like a camera For near tasks (reading) the lens ‘thickens’ increasing power This is called accommodation Difference in refractive More index Refraction Air = 1.00 occurs at Cornea = 1.337 Cornea-air Lens = 1.38 interface
  • 29. RECAP • Light rays coming from infinity (>6m) are focused by a resting (non- accommodating) eye on the retina • Light rays coming from a finite distance (<6m) produce a blur image on the retina • This blur image forces the eye to accommodate • Accommodation involves constriction of ciliary muscles to make the lens thicker (more power) • Thicker lens then focuses the light rays back onto the retina • Amount of accommodation depends on the distance of the near object • The eye will always try to focus a blurred image on the retina • Remembering this simple fact will help clear A LOT of confusion
  • 30. EMMTEROPIA EMMTEROPIA = Equal Measure = No Refractive Error = Desirable optical system RESTING EYE ACCOMMODATING EYE
  • 31. REFRACTIVE ERRORS • A fault in the mechanism of Refraction • Produces a blur image on the retina • Can be for far (infinite; >6m)objects • As well as for near (finite; <6m) objects • AMMETROPIA = Not Equal Measure
  • 33. PRESBYOPIA • Presby = Old + Hard (Rigid) • Opia = sight • An age related phenomena (40 Years) • Weakness in ciliary muscles • Can’t contract as much as before • Lens can’t accommodate as well • Thus can’t focus for near objects • Becomes worse with advancing age
  • 34. PRESBYOPIA What do old people do to read without glasses As the object is moved further The light rays spread more decreasingnullify power The eye will try to accommodate to their the blur (Diopter; Power = n/d) more accommodative effort left It will fail as there is no Light striking the cornea will have lower power (muscles are too weak) Less accommodative effort then can help focus the light rays
  • 35. CORRECTING PRESBYOPIA WITH LENSES A Convex lens corrects presbyopic error. HELP BRING THE LIGHT TO FOCUS WHAT TYPE OF LENS CAN In fact any refractiveTHE RETINA? the light focuses behind the retina is corrected ON error in which by a convex lens As muscle weakens with increasing age so does the power of correcting lens A lens that corrects a refractive error is called a correcting lens
  • 36. DISTANT VISION ERRORS (infinity; 6m)
  • 37. DISTANT VISION ERRORS: RULES • ALL ERRORS ARE DEFINED WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS – Light rays are parallel (coming from distance) – The eye is at rest (not accommodating) – The error is defined based on where the light focuses • Hyperopia/ Hypermetropia (Long measure) • Myopia (Short measure)
  • 38. DISTANT VISION ERROR I: HYPEROPIA (also known as hypermetropia)
  • 39. How does eye react HYPERMETROPIA to ‘blur’ voluntarily (unknowing to the patient) accommodates *The eye to the blurred image For a box of candy: *Most hyperopes don’t even know they have a refractive error A common of lens canpatient’s vision a short error? What type hyperopic be used to correct this using Help fix this cause of hypermetropia iswithout eye ball *They are latent hyperopes lenses …focusing *Only when they start getting older and they loose their accommodative power do they find out the truth behind the Convex Lens *Their hyperopia then becomes retina It manifest accommodates! Parallel light rays… …while eye is at rest… (Not Accommodating)
  • 40. RECAP: HYPEROPIA • A distance vision refractive error • Parallel light rays focus behind the retina in a resting eye • The eye automatically compensates for the error by accommodating • Corrected with a convex lens, just like presbyopia (a near vision refractive error) • Just because both these types of errors are corrected by the same lens mean they are the same error!
  • 41. DISTANT VISION ERROR II: MYOPIA
  • 42. …accommodation MYOPIA *Inof any help? Myopia accommodation would create a blurrier image! *As it is not possible to relax accommodation *Accommodation has of be used involuntary correction of myopia A common cause no role in to long eye ball What type of lens can myopia is acorrect this error? *A corrective aid must be used to fix myopia …focusing in front of the Concave Lens retina The eye always reacts to a blurred image! Parallel light rays… …while eye is at rest… (Not Accommodating)
  • 43. RECAP: MYOPIA • A distance vision refractive error • Parallel light rays focus in front of the retina in a resting eye • The eye CAN NOT automatically compensate for the error by accommodating • Corrected with a concave lens, unlike presbyopia (a near vision refractive error) and hyperopia
  • 44. WAIT THERE IS MORE… • It is possible to reshape the surface of the cornea with laser • The cornea can be reshaped into a convex or concave lens using ultra-violet laser • The laser used is called EXCIMER • Three types of procedures: – Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK; Common) – Laser insitu Keratomelusis (LASIK) – Laser Intra-epithelial Keratomelusis (LASEK) • Oh, and Contacts lenses can also used!
