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.
Prism correction. Prism lenses (here unusually thick) are used for pre-operative prism adaptation. 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.
Three treatment options are available: glasses, contact lenses, and surgery. Glasses are the simplest. Contact lenses can provide a wider field of vision and fewer artifacts than even double aspheric lenses. Refractive surgery aims to permanently change the shape of the eye and thereby cure astigmatism.
Astigmatism may be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. Various considerations involving ocular health, refractive status, and lifestyle frequently determine whether one option may be better than another.
The axis value does not change with vertex distance, so the equivalent prescription for a contact lens (vertex distance, 0 mm) is −7.30 D of sphere, −4.13 D of cylinder with 85° of axis (−7.30 −4.13×85 or about −7.25 −4.25×85). Example 2: example prescription adjustment from contacts to glasses
Refractive error - sometimes called "ametropia" - is when the refractive power of an eye does not match the length of the eye, so the image is focused away from the central retina, instead of directly on it. [12] [13] Types of refractive error include myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism.
