Óptica para optómetras : apuntes de clase

Abstract

This writing is directed, initially, to optometry students, for optometrists and ophthalmologists who like to reinforce their learning in this field as beautiful as the study of the eye. It is hoped that by reading this document, the apprentices, who traced their horizon to train in optometry as their life project, will be able to acquire a series of knowledge that will be reinforced throughout their studies and in their work as optometrists. A language was used that links the reader to the explanations of the phenomena in the field of physics and, particularly, optics. This implied that the physical-mathematical procedures were shown step by step to facilitate the understanding of each of the equations acquired or represented in the document, without extrapolating to the athematical formalism related to electromagnetic theory. In addition, this is the first writing that I do taking into account the classes developed with a large number of optometry students, through whom I was able to see some difficulties that usually arise when reading physics texts. The talks with fellow optometrists in each semester strengthened knowledge in this beautiful field, leading the author to carry out research projects and direction of degree projects where optics is positioned as a fundamental tool for these eye lovers.
