2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

   Eye care professionals use prism correction as a component of some eyeglass prescriptions. A lens which includes some amount of prism correction will displace the viewed image horizontally, vertically, or a combination of both directions. The most common application for this is the treatment of strabismus. By moving the image in front of the ...

   The small improvement in depth of focus with the conventional IOLs enhances uncorrected near vision and contribute to reading ability. [15] Wavefront customized lenses can be used in eyeglasses. Based on Wavefront map of the eye and with the use of laser a lens is shaped to compensate for the aberrations of the eye and then put in the eyeglasses.

6. Chromatic aberration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

   Chromatic aberration. Focal length of lens varies with the color of light. In optics, chromatic aberration (CA), also called chromatic distortion, color aberration, color fringing, or purple fringing, is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point. [1][2] It is caused by dispersion: the refractive index of the lens elements varies ...

7. 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]
