3. OBJECTIVE h ½ h C MIRE F CORNEA ½ h PRISM (P ) IMAGE PLANE Fig 13.17, Page 13.18 Moving prism toward image plane decreases image displacement ( x ) Previously doubled images are no longer doubled (now overlap) What new corneal radius would this prism position “suit”? What happens if we move the prism? x h < h P

7. B & L: Oriented to Measure r 90 and r 18 0 Question: If most corneas are aspheric, what is one drawback with a keratometer? Answer: only measuring radius at one location (annulus) on cornea; and it is NOT central radius OBJ h' 90 Corneal vertex h' 180

10. B & L: Oriented to Measure r 90 and r 18 0 Question: What does the above appearance indicate? Answer: anterior corneal astigmatism. What type? Against-the-rule OBJ h' 90 Corneal vertex h' 180

13. Basis of Corneal Power Estimate - Exact Eye r 1 = +7.7 mm n aqueous 1.336 n air 1.000 r 2 = +6.8 mm F e (cornea) +43.05 D F 1 = +48.83 D F 2 = 5.88 D Page 13.23 n cornea 1.376
14. Basis of Corneal Power Estimate - Modified Exact Eye r 1 = +7.7 mm n aqueous 1.336 n air 1.000 Based on Keratometry want anterior surface only n cornea 1.376 r 2 = +6.8 mm F e (cornea) +43.05 D F 1 = +48.83 D F 2 = 5.88 D
15. Basis of Corneal Power Estimate - Modified Exact Eye r 1 = +7.7 mm n aqueous 1.336 n air 1.000 Based on Keratometry want anterior surface only r 2 = +6.8 mm F e (cornea) +43.05 D F 1 = +48.83 D F 2 = 5.88 D
16. Basis of Corneal Power Estimate - Modified Exact Eye r 1 = +7.7 mm n aqueous 1.336 n air 1.000 Keep true anterior corneal radius - this is what keratometry measures Want single surface cornea to give same +43.05 D as the Exact Eye cornea Using n = 1.3315, the +7.7 mm Exact Eye anterior corneal radius yields correct total corneal power +43.05 D Why is new n < 1.336? Only option is to change n aqueous
