Important Questions on Defects of Vision and their Correction

EASY

What is astigmatism? How is it corrected?

EASY
IMPORTANT

We can see that in normal eye the things taking part in refraction are the cornea, aqueous humour, crystalline eye lens and the vitreous humour. Let us assume that we consider only 2 things namely the cornea and the eye lens. The power of the cornea is fixed and equal to 40 D. The ciliary muscles can change the power of the eye lens which varies between 10 D to 20 D. Calculate the least distance of distinct vision for such an eye.
