What will I learn?
This concise Optics Course builds practical skills for analysing the eye as a thin lens system, interpreting refractive errors in diopters, and linking focal shifts to myopia and hyperopia. Through clear formulas, numeric examples, and correction design for spectacles and contacts, you learn to compute lens powers, account for vertex distance, and recognise when simple models no longer match real clinical situations.
