Learning outcomes |
By the end of the semester, the student should be able to:
- 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.
