An imaginary e. in which the compound dioptric system of the human eye is reduced to a single refracting surface, bounded anteriorly by air and posteriorly by aqueous or vitreous humor. When great accuracy is not required, this reduced eye may be made the basis of a number of considerations and calculations.
