Manifest hyperopia
a) Maximum plus correction the eye can
accept without blurring of vision
b) Non-cyclopleged
Latent hyperopia
a) Cycloplegic hyperopia (Total)- Manifest
Absolute hyperopia
a) Minimum plus correction required for
clear vision at distance
b) Non-cyclopleged
Facultative hyperopia
Manifest - Absolute

n2-n1/r (m) P= A – [2.5 x L] - [0.9 x K]
1.3375-1=0.33375
… → 337.5 in order to leave r in mm
e.g. r= 7.5 mm K= 45D
Before leaving for a scuba diving trip in Hawaii, you pack a +20.0D glass lens in your suitcase.
While scuba diving you decide to use your lens to get a closer look at the scales of a most interesting fish.
What is the power of the +20.00 lens under water. Assume you are holding an ideal thin lens
D air/D water= +20.00/?= nIOL- n air/nIOL- n water
1.52-1/1.52-1.33= +7.3 D
Magnifiaction= D/4= 7.3/4= 1.8X
Problem Solving Examples
Presbyopic Correction
Near point is 20 cm
+2.00 D Hypermetrope. Near point 40 cm. WD 33 cm. Amplitude= near- far
Near: 100/20= 5 D
Amplitude of Accommodation = 100/near point = 100/40 = 2.5
Keep 1/3 as a Reserve = (2.5 x 1/3) = 0.75 D Patient A: Emmetrope
Amplitude: 5-0= 5 D
The Remaining = 2.5 - 0.75 = 1.75 D
He want to read at 33 cm → Needs 3 D Patient B: Myope
uncorrected - 2.00
Add = Needed – Remaining = 3 - 1.75= 1.25
Amplitude: 5-2= 3
Near correction = +2.00 + 1.25= 3.25
Patient C :
Hypermetrope
Spectacle Conversion to Contact Lens uncorrected +2.00
10 D spectacle / 10 mm vertex distance Amplitude: 5+2= 7
Contact lens power = Dc = Ds/1-dDs
-10/ 1- (10/1000) x -10= -9.00 D
