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

    Not all optical prisms are geometric prisms, and not all geometric prisms would count as an optical prism. Prisms can be made from any material that is transparent to the wavelengths for which they are designed. Typical materials include glass, acrylic and fluorite.

  3. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    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.

  4. Strabismus surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strabismus_surgery

    Diplopia with normal binocular function is treated with prism glasses, botulinum injections into the muscles, or repeated surgery. If binocular function is not normal, a more individualized approach is necessary to best suit the patient's needs.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homonymous_hemianopsia

    Peripheral prism spectacles expand the visual field of patients with hemifield visual defects and have the potential to improve visual function and mobility. Prism spectacles incorporate higher power prisms, with variable shapes and designs.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_lens

    A Fresnel lens ( / ˈfreɪnɛl, - nəl / FRAY-nel, -⁠nəl; / ˈfrɛnɛl, - əl / FREN-el, -⁠əl; or / freɪˈnɛl / fray-NEL [1]) is a type of composite compact lens which reduces the amount of material required compared to a conventional lens by dividing the lens into a set of concentric annular sections.

  7. Prism adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_Adaptation

    The negative after-effect is not permanent but varies in its duration depending on the number of sessions and time the patient is exposed to prism adaptation sessions. Eventually the after-effect wears off and pointing abilities return to pre-test levels.

  8. Binoculars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binoculars

    Porro prism and Perger prism binoculars and roof prism binoculars using the Abbe–Koenig roof prism do not use dielectric coatings because these prisms reflect with 100% reflectivity using total internal reflection in the prism rather than requiring a (dielectric) mirror coating. Terms All binoculars

  9. Eyeglass prescription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyeglass_prescription

    Prism and Base Prism refers to a displacement of the image through the lens, often used to treat strabismus and other binocular vision disorders. The prism value is measured in prism diopters , and Base refers to the direction of displacement.

  10. Strabismus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strabismus

    Amblyopia has long been considered to remain permanent if not treated within a critical period, namely before the age of about seven years; Glasses affect the position by changing the person's reaction to focusing. Prisms change the way light, and therefore images, strike the eye, simulating a change in the eye position. Surgery

  11. Botulinum toxin therapy of strabismus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botulinum_toxin_therapy_of...

    Other options for strabismus management are vision therapy and occlusion therapy, corrective glasses (or contact lenses) and prism glasses, and strabismus surgery. The effects that are due only to the toxin itself (including the side effects) generally wear off within 3 to 4 months.
