  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prism correction is measured in prism dioptres. A prescription that specifies prism correction will also specify the "base". The base is the thickest part of the lens and is opposite from the apex. Light will be bent towards the base and the image will be shifted towards the apex.

  3. Exophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exophoria

    Exophoria. Exophoria is a form of heterophoria in which there is a tendency of the eyes to deviate outward. [1] During examination, when the eyes are dissociated, the visual axes will appear to diverge away from one another. [2] The axis deviation in exophoria is usually mild compared with that of exotropia .

  4. Stereographic map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereographic_map_projection

    The stereographic projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation. The stereographic projection, also known as the planisphere projection or the azimuthal conformal projection, is a conformal map projection whose use dates back to antiquity.

  5. Accretionary wedge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretionary_wedge

    An accretionary wedge or accretionary prism forms from sediments accreted onto the non-subducting tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary.

  6. Geodesy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesy

    First are absolute gravimeters, based on measuring the acceleration of free fall (e.g., of a reflecting prism in a vacuum tube). They are used to establish vertical geospatial control or in the field.

  7. Esophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophoria

    Ophthalmology. Esophoria is an eye condition involving inward deviation of the eye, usually due to extra-ocular muscle imbalance. It is a type of heterophoria .

  8. Exotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotropia

    Exotropia is a form of strabismus where the eyes are deviated outward. It is the opposite of esotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than exophoria. People with exotropia often experience crossed diplopia. Intermittent exotropia is a fairly common condition.

  9. Geomorphometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomorphometry

    Geomorphometrics is the discipline based on the computational measures of the geometry, topography and shape of the Earth's horizons, and their temporal change. [2] This is a major component of geographic information systems (GIS) and other software tools for spatial analysis. In simple terms, geomorphometry aims at extracting (land) surface ...

  10. Physiographic region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiographic_region

    Physiographic region. Physiographic regions are a means of defining Earth 's landforms into distinct, mutually exclusive areas, independent of political boundaries. It is based upon the classic three-tiered approach by Nevin M. Fenneman in 1916, that separates landforms into physiographic divisions, physiographic provinces, and physiographic ...

  11. Horror fusionis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_fusionis

    In his case description, the condition was present years after surgical correction of strabismus acquired during childhood and co-existed with aniseikonia. Subsequently, spectacles for size correction ("iseikonic correction") allowed binocular fusion with depth perception to be achieved.
