A patient's far point is 135 cm and her near point is 15.0 cm.

In what follows, we assume that we can model the eye as a simple camera, with a single thin lens forming a real image upon the retina. We also assume that the patient's eyes are identical, with each retina lying 1.95 cm from the eye's "thin lens."

(a)

What is the power, P, of the eye when focused upon the far point? (Enter your answer in diopters.)

diopters

(b)

What is the power, P, of the eye when focused upon the near point? (Enter your answer in diopters.)

diopters

(c)

What power (in diopters) must a contact lens have in order to correct the patient's nearsightedness? (Assume that the object distance is infinite.)

diopters

(d)

Is this contact lens a converging or diverging lens?

converging diverging

A person is farsighted and has near point of 50 cm. Retina is at a distance L = 1.7 cm. When wearing contact lenses and reading a book 30 cm in front of the eye, what is the object distance for the lenses? What is the desired image distance? Is the magnitude of the image distance a minimum, maximum, or the only acceptable image distance? Find the focal length and refractive power of the contact lens that will fix this...

Contact lenses are placed right on the eyeball, so the distance from the eye to an object (or image) is the same as the distance from the lens to that object (or image). A certain person can see distant objects well, but his near point is 50.0 cm from his eyes instead of the usual 25.0 cm . Part A Is this person nearsighted or farsighted? Is this person nearsighted or farsighted? This person is nearsighted. This person is farsighted....

One of the lousy things about getting old (prepare yourself!) is that you can be both near-sighted and farsighted at once. Some original defect in the lens of your eye may cause you to only be able to focus on some objects a limited distance away (near-sighted). At the same time, as you age, the lens of your eye becomes more rigid and less able to change its shape. This will stop you from being able to focus on objects...

A. The human eye 1. Whenever a normal eye forms an image, the image distance will always equal the distance from the cornea and eye lens to the retina (~25 mm), regardless of how far away the object is located. Explain why the image distance cannot change. 2. If the image distance must change, then what intrinsic property of the eye lens must change in order for the eye to focus on objects at different distances? Hint: read the Introduction....
