Transfers ToNot transferableDescriptionIn this course, students are introduced to the study of optical theory, principles of optics, ophthalmic lens characteristics and design. Students will learn the arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry necessary to evaluate optical formulas. Topics include applying the metric system, intermediate and advanced optical calculations, theories of light, refractive errors, lens measurement, refraction, refractive errors, tilts, face form, lens aberrations, lens reflection, image formation, absorption, transmission, and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as it relates to the Optical and Optometry environment.
