    Refractive Mgmt/Intervention

    Dimensions of the reduced schematic eye, defined by the anterior corneal surface (P), the simplified nodal point of the eye (N), and the fovea (F'). The distance from the simplified nodal point to the fovea is 17.0 mm, and the distance from the anterior corneal surface to the nodal point is 5.6 mm. The refractive index for air is taken to be 1.000, and the simplified refractive index for the eye (n') is 1.333. The refractive power of this reduced schematic eye is 60.0 D, with its principal plane at the front surface of the cornea.
