   Adjustable focus eyeglasses are eyeglasses with an adjustable focal length. They compensate for refractive errors (such as presbyopia) by providing variable focusing, allowing users to adjust them for desired distance or prescription, or both.

4. Prism cover test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_Cover_Test

   The prism cover test ( PCT) is an objective measurement and the gold standard in measuring strabismus, i.e. ocular misalignment, or a deviation of the eye. [1] It is used by ophthalmologists and orthoptists in order to measure the vertical and horizontal deviation and includes both manifest and latent components. [1]

5. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

   A corrective lens is a transmissive optical device that is worn on the eye to improve visual perception. The most common use is to treat refractive errors: myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Glasses or "spectacles" are worn on the face a short distance in front of the eye.

6. Ophthalmic trial frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophthalmic_trial_frame

   A trial frame is a tool used by ophthalmic professionals like ophthalmologists and optometrists. It is basically an adjustable spectacle frame with multiple cells, used to hold corrective lenses, and other accessories in subjective refraction (finding the correct spectacle power) and retinoscopy .

7. Vertex distance - Wikipedia
