What will I learn?
Gain expertise in converging and diverging lenses through this targeted course connecting key formulas, ray tracing techniques, and practical prescription applications. Master lens makers' and thin-lens equations, sign conventions, and optical power, then use them for precise ray descriptions, material selection, high-index lenses, and clinical insights to communicate effectively, verify calculations, and decide on lenses confidently.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master lens formulas to quickly calculate focal length, power, and image position.
- Perform accurate ray tracing to predict real and virtual images with converging lenses.
- Analyse diverging lenses to find virtual image locations and compute magnification.
- Choose suitable lens materials by balancing refractive index, thickness, weight, and clarity.
- Clearly explain prescriptions by breaking down myopia and hyperopia optics for patients.
