Synopsis
Understanding how the eye sees: the science of light and the eye's own optical machinery.
This work introduces vision by explaining the eye as an optical instrument. It compares the eye to a camera and the retina to a sensitized plate, then explores how light energy is converted into nerve impulses and how the brain interprets them. It also lays out the basic physics of light and the two historical theories of its transmission, helping readers grasp the foundation of ocular optics.
Beginning with the science of optics and its relevance to ophthalmology, the text describes the differences between luminous and non-luminous bodies, and it traces the development of ideas from corpuscular to wave theory, including the idea of ether. The focus remains on how light refraction and reflection relate to the eye's function, setting the stage for practical examinations and measurements that follow in later chapters.
- Learn how vision arises from light interacting with the retina and how the eye acts like a camera.
- Explore the historical theories of light and why the wave theory helps explain optical phenomena.
- Understand the role of refraction and reflection in shaping visual perception and ocular optics.
- See how these principles lay the groundwork for later topics in ophthalmoscopy, skiascopy, and ophthalmometry.
Ideal for readers beginning a study of optical principles in eye science and for professionals seeking a clear, foundational overview.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book covers the foundational principles of Geometric Optics, a branch of Applied Physics that's concerned with the analysis of light as rays. The author concentrates on the behavior and properties of light in the context of refraction and reflection. The book delves into important optical phenomena, such as the laws of refraction and reflection, the formation of images using spherical surfaces, chromatic aberration, and more. Throughout the narrative, the author provides valuable insights into the optical principles underlying crucial ophthalmological instruments like the eye, ophthalmoscope, and skiameter. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334257254_0
