Physiological Optics Laboratory I

At the end of OPT 302 (Physiological Optics Laboratory) course, the students should be able to: 1. demonstrate and identify Purkinje images (reflections of objects from the optical structures of the eye); 2. describe the principle and know different types of optometer; 3. describe the principle and the use of refractometer; 4. discuss about schematic eye, visual acuities, stereo acuity and contrast sensitivity; and 5. conduct/perform experiment on measurement with optometer set-up, using the badal optometer.

Measurement with Optometer set-ups; Demonstration of Purkinje images, optical aberrations, effect of defocus on visual acuity and refractive anomalies. Schematic eye, visual acuities; vernier acuity, stereoacuity, optometer, contrast sensitivity. “AC/A ratio”
