[A new formula for determining the refractive power of intraocular lenses]
Abstract:
New, simplified formulas for calculating the refractive power of intraocular lenses are presented. These formulas were derived by mathematical methods. With the aid of these formulas it is possible to calculate an emmetropizing lens, residual refraction and desired postoperative refraction. The error in other formulas used for eyes with short axial lengths can be avoided with this new formula, due to its linearity.

Properties of Enantiomers and Optical Activity
It is essential to understand the difference between chiral and achiral interactions and the implications thereof in optical activity and their applications. Just as our feet, which are chiral, interact uniquely with chiral objects, such as a pair of shoes, but identically with achiral socks, enantiomers of a molecule exhibit different properties only when they interact with other chiral media. An example of a significant implication from this facet is the phenomenon known as optical activity,...
Focusing of Light in the Eye
Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that is the eye's outermost layer. The cornea bends or refracts, light rays traveling to the pupil. The shape of the cornea determines how much of the light is bent and whether the image will be focused correctly on the retina at the back of the eye. Once the light has passed through both refraction layers, it converges into a single focal point onto a small area. This is where photoreceptors start transforming...
