MethodAssembled data from review articles (Duke-Elder and Wybar, I96I; Duke-Elder and Abrams, I970) and individual reports (Prechtel and Wesley, I970; Mandell and St Helen, I97I) were considered in an attempt to formulate an adequate specification for a simplified schematic eye, and this was found for the most part to approximate to the earlier paraxial data of Cowan (I928) which was utilized in a wide-angle model by Stine (1934). It appeared necessary, however, to make some fundamental modifications. Accumulating data on corneal topography has supported the suggestion of Helmholtz (i 866) that the shape of the cornea is closely simulated by an ellipsoid. Such a surface can be specified in terms of an apical radius andan'e'value, or eccentricity. The data of Prechtel and Wesley (1970), based on 150 eyes, show a clear unimodal tendency of this parameter which is further supported by the more detailedfindings of Mandell and St Helen (I97I) on eight human eyes. The peak value from these papers was taken as e= o-, while retaining the apical radius of 7-8 mm. which results in the ellipsoid defined by the simple equation: x= l243 36-2y'It was also considered necessary to modify the data on the margin of the retina. This was located in accordance with the anatomical values quoted by Duke-Elder and Wybar (I96I) on limbal distance of the ora serrata and the junction of the pars caeca with the functional retina. The resultant vertical and horizontal asymmetry of the retinal margin is shown in the Table, and is apparent also in the diagram ofthe optical geometry shown in Fig. i. The slope of the ellipse at any one point could be
