Module 'Optics and Lenses'

Module objective
1. To provide basic knowledge about the essence and spreading of light in
the environment surrounding us, and in optic environments with different
nature;
2. to provide an overview about the refraction errors of human eye, their
peculiarities, and the possibilities and methods of correction;
3. to provide detailed knowledge about the structure, the function
mechanisms and application possibilities of different ophthalmic lenses.
Learning outcomes
Having passed the module, the student:
1. has an overview about the physical essence and features of light, its
spreading in different environments; can verbally and mathematically
describe the possible situations related with light and optics;
2. identifies eye’s amethropies and knows the scientific and practical aspects
related with their corrections;
3. knows and recognizes different optical lenses, lense systems and their
construction principles, can analyze and describe them graphically and
mathematically;
4. can handle simpler optical measuring instruments and machines for
assessing the characteristics of ophthalmic lenses;
5. assesses professionally and critically the impact of different ophthalmic
lense constructions on human vision and can prevent and/or correct
possible problems;
6. assesses different tasks and problems by proceeding from one’s
knowledge and experiences, solves them independently by analyzing
different aspects of the situation, considering client’s needs and wellbeing.
