  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prentice's rule, named so after the optician Charles F. Prentice, is a formula used to determine the amount of induced prism in a lens: = where: P is the amount of prism correction (in prism dioptres) c is decentration (the distance between the pupil centre and the lens's optical centre, in millimetres)

  3. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    However, there are indications that anisometropia influences the long-term outcome of a surgical correction of an inward squint, and vice versa. More specifically, for patients with esotropia who undergo strabismus surgery, anisometropia may be one of the risk factors for developing consecutive exotropia [14] and poor binocular function may be ...

  4. Esophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophoria

    Esophoria is an eye condition involving inward deviation of the eye, usually due to extra-ocular muscle imbalance. It is a type of heterophoria. Cause. Causes include: Refractive errors; Divergence insufficiency; Convergence excess; this can be due to nerve, muscle, congenital or mechanical anomalies.

  5. Free-air gravity anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air_gravity_anomaly

    Calculation. The free-air gravity anomaly is given by the equation: = (+) Here, is observed gravity, is the free-air correction, and is theoretical gravity.

  6. Esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esotropia

    Where appropriate, prismatic correction can be used, either temporarily or permanently, to relieve symptoms of double vision. In specific cases, and primarily in adult patients, botulinum toxin can be used either as a permanent therapeutic approach, or as a temporary measure to prevent contracture of muscles prior to surgery

  7. K correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_correction

    K correction converts measurements of astronomical objects into their respective rest frames. The correction acts on that object's observed magnitude (or equivalently, its flux ).

  8. Diplopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplopia

    Treatment options include eye exercises, wearing an eye patch on alternative eyes, prism correction, and in more extreme situations, surgery or botulinum toxin. If your provider diagnoses swelling or inflammation of, or around the nerve, medicines called corticosteroids may be used.

  9. Cyclotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclotropia

    Cyclotropia cannot be corrected with prism spectacles in the way other eye position disorders are corrected. (Nonetheless two Dove prisms can be employed to rotate the visual field in experimental settings.) For cyclodeviations above 5 degrees, surgery has normally been recommended.

  10. Eötvös effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eötvös_effect

    The mathematical derivation for the Eötvös effect for motion along the Equator explains the factor 2 in the first term of the Eötvös correction formula. What remains to be explained is the cosine factor. Because of its rotation, the Earth is not spherical in shape, there is an Equatorial bulge.

  11. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    These formulas are known respectively as Fresnel's sine law and Fresnel's tangent law. Although at normal incidence these expressions reduce to 0/0, one can see that they yield the correct results in the limit as ‍ θ i → 0 .
