This document discusses concepts related to the optical properties of the human eye including the schematic eye model. It describes how the schematic eye was developed by Gullstrand to mathematically model the eye's optics. The document also covers topics like the reduced schematic eye model, accommodation, refractive errors like myopia and hyperopia, astigmatism, and different forms of expressing cylinder powers and axes.

5. Reduced schematic eye
Schematic eye can be simplified even further
We can treat eye as it was a single refracting

22. Accommodative amplitude
<40 yr. increase 1.00 D./ each 4 yr.
40 yr. = 6.00 D., 44 yr. = 4.5 D., 48 yr. = 3.00 D.
>48 yr. decrease 0.50 D./ each 4 yr.
<- 40(6.00 D.) – 44(4.50 D.) – 48(3.00 D.) ->
Ex. 60 yr. = 1.5 D.
