No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1970–71 to 1980–81 (before that, 1969–70 used the number for Advanced Geometrical optics); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The properties of ophthalmic glass and lenses, and the problems and solutions involved in fitting lenses to the eyes. Laboratory work involves processing prescriptions as well as experiments in optics.
As printed in the 1976–77 to 1980–81 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

Prereq: Optom 206
Offered Fall · 3 class, 4 lab hours a week · 0.5 credit
1970–71 to 1975–76 6 calendars
The history and manufacture of optical glass, ophthalmic lens surfacing and design, classification and performance of single vision ophthalmic lenses, prismatic effects, transposition, absorptive lenses and lens coating, problems and solutions in fitting ophthalmic lenses to the eyes. The laboratory course deals with processing all types of ophthalmic material, as well as optical bench experiments. 3 lectures, 2 hours laboratory, Fall term. Prerequisite: Optometry 216*.
1969–70 1 calendar
Another title: Advanced Geometrical optics, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
An extension of geometrical optics given in Physics 236 dealing with the optics of surfaces, prisms, thin and thick lens systems including the eye, aberrations of such systems and their correction; optical and ophthalmic instruments. 3 lectures, 3 hours laboratory. fall term.
