There are some patients with keratoconus that have corneas that are abnormally thin and bulge out into a cone shape. Consider a patient whose eye has a moderate case of keratoconus. The refractive power of this eye’s cornea is +50 D.
Part 1.) How far in front of the patient’s eye is its' far point,
assuming the eye lens is in its fully relaxed state with a
refractive power of +2 D? The eye is 25 mm in diameter. Show your
work, answer should be in cm or meters.
Part 2.) What is the refractive power of the contact lens you would prescribe for the patient’s eye? Show your work.
