  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Yoked prism can move the image away from primary gaze without the need for a constant head tilt or turn. 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.

  3. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    In this example the first eye, with a −1.00 diopter prescription, is the stronger eye, needing only slight correction to sharpen the image formed, and hence a thin spectacle lens. The second eye, with a −4.00 diopter prescription, is the weaker eye, needing moderate correction to sharpen the image formed, and hence a moderately thick ...

  4. Petzval field curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petzval_field_curvature

    Petzval field curvature, named for Joseph Petzval, describes the optical aberration in which a flat object normal to the optical axis (or a non-flat object past the hyperfocal distance) cannot be brought properly into focus on a flat image plane.

  5. Esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esotropia

    Esotropia is a form of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a "cross-eyed" appearance. [1] It is the opposite of exotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than esophoria. Esotropia is sometimes erroneously called ...

  6. Distortion (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Distortion (optics) In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image. It is a form of optical aberration .

  7. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    Optical aberration. 1: Imaging by a lens with chromatic aberration. 2: A lens with less chromatic aberration. In optics, aberration is a property of optical systems, such as lenses, that causes light to be spread out over some region of space rather than focused to a point. [1]

  8. Achromatic lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achromatic_lens

    To make the linear dispersion of the system zero, the system must satisfy the equations 1 f 1 + 1 f 2 = 1 f d b l t , 1 f 1 V 1 + 1 f 2 V 2 = 0 ; {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}{\frac {1}{\ f_{1}\ }}+{\frac {1}{\ f_{2}\ }}&={\frac {1}{\ f_{\mathsf {dblt}}\ }}\ ,\\{\frac {1}{\ f_{1}\ V_{1}\ }}+{\frac {1}{\ f_{2}\ V_{2}\ }}&=0\ ;\end{aligned}}}

    Image distance in a spherical mirror + = () Subscripts 1 and 2 refer to initial and final optical media respectively. These ratios are sometimes also used, following simply from other definitions of refractive index, wave phase velocity, and the luminal speed equation:

  10. 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.

  11. Schrödinger equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger_equation

    Linearity. The Schrödinger equation is a linear differential equation, meaning that if two state vectors and are solutions, then so is any linear combination. of the two state vectors where a and b are any complex numbers. [13] : 25 Moreover, the sum can be extended for any number of state vectors.
