Highlights:
This curriculum uses videos, text, and assessment questions to describe optics and how lasers are used in the surgical procedure, LASIK.
Abstract:
A wide range of physics is involved in understanding how changing the curvature of the cornea impacts human vision, and how the changes themselves are made. This curriculum provides context for the following concepts: refraction, lenses, light absorption, spontaneous and stimulated emission, coherence, Fourier analysis, the anatomy of the eye, myopia, optical properties of tissue and water, LASERs, Hartman Shack sensor. The curriculum includes a manuscript with key concepts, video series from a medical professional, video comprehension questions, and pre-lecture checkpoints and homework problems.
