  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. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(geometry)

    For example, {4}×{4}, a 4-4 duoprism is a lower symmetry form of a tesseract, as is {4,3}×{ }, a cubic prism. {4}×{4}×{ } (4-4 duoprism prism), {4,3}×{4} (cube-4 duoprism) and {4,3,3}×{ } (tesseractic prism) are lower symmetry forms of a 5-cube .

  4. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    Amblyopia. Anisometropia is a condition in which a person's eyes have substantially differing refractive power. [1] Generally, a difference in power of one diopter (1D) is the threshold for diagnosis of the condition . [2] [3] Patients may have up to 3D of anisometropia before the condition becomes clinically significant due to headache, eye ...

  5. Projective geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_geometry

    Geometry. In mathematics, projective geometry is the study of geometric properties that are invariant with respect to projective transformations. This means that, compared to elementary Euclidean geometry, projective geometry has a different setting, projective space, and a selective set of basic geometric concepts.

  6. 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.

  7. Skew lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_lines

    Skew lines. Rectangular parallelepiped. The line through segment AD and the line through segment B 1 B are skew lines because they are not in the same plane. In three-dimensional geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel. A simple example of a pair of skew lines is the pair of lines through opposite edges of ...

  9. Antiprism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiprism

    Example: a retrograde star antiprism with regular star 7/5-gon bases (vertex configuration: 3.3.3.7/5) cannot be uniform. Also, star antiprism compounds with regular star p/q-gon bases can be constructed if p and q have common factors. Example: a star 10/4-antiprism is the compound of two star 5/2-antiprisms.

  10. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    Frustum. In geometry, a frustum ( Latin for 'morsel'); [a] ( pl.: frusta or frustums) is the portion of a solid (normally a pyramid or a cone) that lies between two parallel planes cutting the solid. In the case of a pyramid, the base faces are polygonal and the side faces are trapezoidal. A right frustum is a right pyramid or a right cone ...
