The spectacle magnification of focal telescopes.
A generalized expression for spectacle magnification is derived and used to determine the magnification of focal telescopes used to correct ametropia and/or to view objects at finite distances. When applied to low-powered hand-held telescopes, the expression predicts a clinically negligible difference between spectacle and nominal magnification.
