Question
Chapter 2, Problem 10RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The method of focusing on an object and what parameters determine that the object is in or out of focus.
Introduction:
The light rays that enter the eye fall on the retina/fovea after refraction. The retina is the focal point of the eye. In order to get the focus point always on the retina, the lens of the eye makes several changes in the width according to the incident light. The focal length or the focus is also adjusted in the microscope in order to get a clear image of the specimen or object.

He is testing visual acuity in patients for the first time and feels nervous about it. However, Cassey remembered when he did it in his clinical procedures class, so he takes a deep breath and calls the patient, Mr. Saleto. After identifying the patient and welcoming him in the room, Cassey explains the procedure to Mr. Saleto. What should be the distance between Mr. Saleto and the Snellen chart? What instructions can Casey give to Mr. Saleto if he uses glasses? By using the Snellen chart, is Cassey testing distance or near visual acuity? What does it mean if the result of the test is 20/60?
