Hi all.
I'm not sure if this topic goes under Surgery, but I suppose so, since it's opth-related.
I have a clinical opthalmology exam next tuesday. In Aphakia, there supposed to be no Purkinje Sanson images seen, while in Pseudophakia, 2 images are seen. In normal persons, 4 images are seen.
Now what exactly are those images? and how can they been seen using only the ophthalmic light torch?
I'd really appreciate your help!!
Thanks.

the four images are:
1 - reflection from the anterior cornea
2 - reflection from the posterior cornea
3- reflection from the anterior lens
4- reflection from the posterior lens
additional info
only the 4 th image is a real image
and 2,3,4 have a component of refraction in them
