Purpose:
Realisation of a numerical simulation program for the optic system of human eye. Simulation of the refractive errors and their correction with optic system. Calculation of the IOL power with this program.
Method:
The program is accomplished in Pascal programming language.
Results:
Applying the formulas derived from Abbe's invariant we can calculate all the paraxial characteristics of human eye. With this program we can calculate the power of an air lens, of a contact lens and power of an IOL.
Conclusions:
This program simulate the optic system and refractive errors of the human eye. Its necessary to know all the parameters of the optic system of the eye to calculate the power of an IOL. This program can be used in an educational and research purposes.

The ring is divided into infinitesimal small arcs such that point M is equidistant from all the arcs. Here, the cylindrical coordinate system is used to calculate the electric potential at point M. A general element of the arc between angles θ and θ + dθ is of the length Rdθ and has a charge of λRdθ.
