## What is Optics Simulator?

Optics Simulator turns the equations of clinical optics into live, interactive ray diagrams. Move an object, slide a lens along the optical axis, change diopters, rotate a prism — and watch the geometry, focal points, image position, and magnification update in real time.

Each simulator displays its governing equation in textbook serif math, with the current numerical values substituted alongside, so you can connect the picture to the formula. A built-in practice section quizzes the underlying concepts with parameterised diagrams (the answer is hidden in the stem and revealed once you check your work).

INCLUDED SIMULATORS
• Snell's Law and Total Internal Reflection — refraction at an interface
• Vergence and Thin Lenses — draggable object and lens, full three-ray construction
• Schematic Eye — cornea + crystalline lens + axial length; lens shape changes with power
• Refractive Errors — myopia and hyperopia with a spectacle at adjustable vertex distance
• Lens Effectivity — see how moving a lens toward the eye changes effective power
• Astigmatism — the Conoid of Sturm with a cross-section explorer
• Telescopes — Galilean and Keplerian, both lenses are draggable
• Simple Magnifier — at, inside, or beyond the focal length
• Mirrors — concave, convex and plano, with C and F marked
• Prisms — clinical prism diopters and geometric minimum-deviation

REFERENCE
• A formula sheet with every equation the app uses, typeset in serif math
• Built-in practice problems organised by section

DESIGN
• Black-and-white interface so the colored rays remain the most prominent thing on screen
• Adaptive layout: simulator stays visible alongside the controls in landscape
• No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no internet connection required

For health-profession students, ophthalmology residents, optometry students, and anyone who would rather see optics work than memorise formulas.
