  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    The most common application for this is the treatment of strabismus. By moving the image in front of the deviated eye, double vision can be avoided and comfortable binocular vision can be achieved. Other applications include yoked prism where the image is shifted an equal amount in each eye.

  3. Chromatic aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

    Chromatic correction of visible and near infrared wavelengths. Horizontal axis shows degree of aberration, 0 is no aberration. Lenses: 1: simple, 2: achromatic doublet, 3: apochromatic and 4: superachromat.

  4. Prism (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(optics)

    Prism spectacles with a single prism perform a relative displacement of the two eyes, thereby correcting eso-, exo, hyper- or hypotropia. In contrast, spectacles with prisms of equal power for both eyes, called yoked prisms (also: conjugate prisms , ambient lenses or performance glasses ) shift the visual field of both eyes to the same extent.

  5. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    The optical quality of the eye is limited by optical aberrations, diffraction and scatter. [1] Correction of spherocylindrical refractive errors has been possible for nearly two centuries following Airy's development of methods to measure and correct ocular astigmatism.

  6. 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.

  7. Subjective refraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_refraction

    It is a clinical examination used by orthoptists, optometrists and ophthalmologists to determine a patient's need for refractive correction, in the form of glasses or contact lenses. The aim is to improve current unaided vision or vision with current glasses.

  8. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    This blur is due to incoming light being focused behind, instead of on, the retina due to insufficient accommodation by the lens. Minor hypermetropia in young patients is usually corrected by their accommodation, without any defects in vision.

  9. Pinhole occluder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_occluder

    A pinhole occluder is an opaque disk with one or more small holes through it, used by ophthalmologists, orthoptists and optometrists to test visual acuity. The occluder is a simple way to focus light, as in a pinhole camera, temporarily removing the effects of refractive errors such as myopia.

  10. Upside down goggles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upside_down_goggles

    Upside down goggles can be used to demonstrate human adaptation to inverted vision, and as a method of preventing motion sickness. Hubert Dolezal recommended using upside down goggles for "nausea adaptation" for space travel.

  11. Achromatic lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achromatic_lens

    It can also increase light transmission slightly and reduce the impact of errors in R 2 and R 3. Steinheil doublet. The Steinheil doublet, devised by Carl August von Steinheil, is a flint-first doublet. In contrast to the Fraunhofer doublet, it has a negative lens first followed by a positive lens.
