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

    Crown glass is a type of optical glass used in lenses and other optical components. It has relatively low refractive index (≈1.52) and low dispersion (with Abbe numbers between 50 and 85). Crown glass is produced from alkali-lime silicates containing approximately 10% potassium oxide and is one of the earliest low dispersion glasses .

  3. Wedge prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_prism

    Wedge prism. The wedge prism is a prism with a shallow angle between its input and output surfaces. This angle is usually 3 degrees or less. Refraction at the surfaces causes the prism to deflect light by a fixed angle. When viewing a scene through such a prism, objects will appear to be offset by an amount that varies with their distance from ...

  4. Prism adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_Adaptation

    Prism adaptation. Prism adaptation is a sensory-motor adaptation that occurs after the visual field has been artificially shifted laterally or vertically. It was first introduced by Hermann von Helmholtz in late 19th-century Germany as supportive evidence for his perceptual learning theory (Helmholtz, 1909/1962). [1]

  5. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    In optics, a dispersive prism is an optical prism that is used to disperse light, that is, to separate light into its spectral components (the colors of the rainbow ). Different wavelengths (colors) of light will be deflected by the prism at different angles. [1] This is a result of the prism material's index of refraction varying with ...

  6. Color blind glasses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blind_glasses

    Color blind glasses or color correcting lenses are light filters, usually in the form of glasses or contact lenses, that attempt to alleviate color blindness, by bringing deficient color vision closer to normal color vision or to make certain color tasks easier to accomplish. Despite its viral status, the academic literature is generally ...

  7. Glasses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasses

    Glasses, also known as eyeglasses and spectacles, are vision eyewear with clear or tinted lenses mounted in a frame that holds them in front of a person's eyes, typically utilizing a bridge over the nose and hinged arms, known as temples or temple pieces, that rest over the ears. Glasses are typically used for vision correction, such as with ...
