Question
A person has far points of $5.0 \mathrm{m}$ from the right eye and $6.5 \mathrm{m}$ from the left eye. Write a prescription for the refractive power of each corrective contact lens.
Step 1
The far point is the maximum distance at which a person can see clearly. In this case, the far points are 5.0 m for the right eye and 6.5 m for the left eye. To correct the vision, we need to find the focal length (f) of the corrective lenses that will bring the Show more…

Numerical Problems
A person's prescription for his new bifocal eyeglasses calls for a refractive power of $-0.0625$ diopter in the distance-vision part and a power of $+1.05$ diopters in the close-vision part. Assuming the glasses rest 2.00 $\mathrm{cm}$ from his eyes and that the corrected near-point distance is $25.0 \mathrm{cm},$ determine the near and far points of this person's uncorrected vision.
The far point of a person suffering from myopia is 2 metres from the eye. Find the focal length and power of the corrective lens that will correct his vision.
