LENSES: PLUS AND MINUS
A hyperopic (farsighted) eye, where the eyeball i? too short, has
a refractive power that is less than that of a normal eye. The light
rays don't focus until they've fallen behind the retina. This condi
tion requires a convex lens (thicker at the center, thinner at the
edges) to brina the focus point forward, so it londs on the retina.
This Is also called a PLUS lens because it makes the total refractive
power of the eye stronger, like a magnifying glass. A presbyopic
also requires a plus lens, which is often prescribed In the form
ifocals. *
In the case of mypopia (nearsightedness), where the eyeball is
too long, the total refractive power of the eye is greater than is
required for on eye of normal length. A concave lens (thicker at
the edges, thinner in the center) is used to correct this condition.
"rT.is Is also called a MINUS lens because It causes the light rays to
diverge or bend outward, in effect weakening the total refraction.
