The following questions relate to retina magnification and opthalmoscope
(Assuming an emmetrope has a total refractive power of 60D).
a. Direct ophthalmoscopy
i. Calculate the magnification of an emmetrope retina when examined
with a
direct ophthalmoscope.
ii. When viewed by an emmetrope ophthalmologists, does a myope's
optic disc
look bigger or smaller than an emmetrope?
b. Indirect ophthalmoscopy
i. Calculate the magnification of an emmetrope retina when viewed
with an
indirect ophthalmoscope using a 20 D lens.
ii. What is the magnification of an emmetrope retina when viewed
with a 15D lens?
