AB The  correct  interpretation  of  visual  information  depends  on  the  eye's  ability  to  focus  incoming  rays  of  light  on  the  retina.  An  understanding  of  this  process  and  how  it  is  influenced  by  normal  variations  or  ocular  disease  is  essential  to  the  successful  use  of  any  optical  aid,  for  example,  glasses,  contact  lenses,  intraocular  lenses,  or  low-vision  aids.  To  achieve  this  understanding,  it  is  necessary  to  master  the  concepts  of  geometric  optics,  which  define  the  effect  on  light  rays  as  they  pass  through  different  surfaces  and  media.
