(Since the distance of the retina to the eye lens is roughly 22 mm and the refractive index of the vitrous humor is 1.337,...at approximately 16 mm in front of the cornea. (Since the distance of the retina to the eye lens is roughly 22 mm and the refractive index of the vitrous humor is 1.337, this implies a focal distance in air of the unaccomodated eye of 22/1.337≈16 mm ). Contact lenses are very close to the eye lens and hence the total power of the eye with a contact lens is simply the sum of the power of the eye and the contact lens.

The eye is remarkable in how it forms images and in the richness of detail and color it can detect. However, our eyes commonly need some correction, to reach what is called “normal” vision, but should be called ideal rather than normal. Image formation by our eyes and common vision correction are easy to analyze with Geometric Optics.
