Learning outcomes |
- Know how to analyze the performance of an optical element or a visual instrument analytically and computationally.
- Know the most relevant image quality metrics in visual systems.
- Know how to design and optimize simple optical elements such as ophthalmic lenses, contact lenses or intraocular lenses, taking into account a schematic model of the eye.
- Apply the acquired knowledge to the design of optical and optometric instruments.

Syllabus |
1. Complements of Optics and Image Quality Parameter Analysis.
2. Optical Systems Design and Analysis Software.
3. Human eye simulation and visual instruments.
4. Introduction to the process of designing visual systems:
a) Specification, Paraxial layout (from thin lens to thick lens systems), finite ray tracing (geometric and wavefront aberrations ), Optimization and Evaluation.
b) An example of DEO application: Design of a magnification system.
c) Other application examples: monofocal and multifocal contact lenses, monofocal and multifocal refractive diffractive and segmented intraocular lenses. Wavefront technology and freeform lenses.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
CEA – Teaching-Learning Classification:
To obtain frequency:
Carry out at least 80% of continuous assessment activities in the form of Quizes available on Moodle at the end of each class (AM).
Carry out a project for an optical system (P).
Carry out three mini-tests, obtaining the theoretical component (TE).
Get CEA>=6.0 values, where
CEA = 0.5 TE+0.30 P+0.20 AM
With AM being the grade of the activities in Moodle (quizes) and TE being the average of the mini-tests.
To approve the curricular unit, it is necessary that CEA >=9.5 and TE>= 8.5.
CEF - Final exam classification:
The formula applied is similar, with TE being the classification in the exam test
CEF = 0.5 TE+0.30 P+0.20 AM
Final classification is the best grade between CEA and CEF.
To approve the curricular unit, it is necessary that CEF >=9.5 and TE>= 8.5.
