  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    The most common application for this is the treatment of strabismus. By moving the image in front of the deviated eye, double vision can be avoided and comfortable binocular vision can be achieved. Other applications include yoked prism where the image is shifted an equal amount in each eye.

  3. Prism (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Eye care professionals use prisms, as well as lenses off axis, to treat various orthoptics problems: Diplopia (double vision) Positive and negative fusion problems [ambiguous] [citation needed] Prism spectacles with a single prism perform a relative displacement of the two eyes, thereby correcting eso-, exo, hyper- or hypotropia.

  4. Adaptive optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_optics

    The wavefront of an aberrated image (left) can be measured using a wavefront sensor (center) and then corrected for using a deformable mirror (right). Adaptive optics ( AO) is a technique of precisely deforming a mirror in order to compensate for light distortion.

  5. Diplopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplopia

    Neurology, ophthalmology. Diplopia is the simultaneous perception of two images of a single object that may be displaced horizontally or vertically in relation to each other. [1] Also called double vision, it is a loss of visual focus under regular conditions, and is often voluntary.

  6. Diffraction spike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike

    Diffraction spikes are lines radiating from bright light sources, causing what is known as the starburst effect or sunstars in photographs and in vision. They are artifacts caused by light diffracting around the support vanes of the secondary mirror in reflecting telescopes , or edges of non-circular camera apertures , and around eyelashes and ...

  7. Duopyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duopyramid

    A p-q duopyramid or p-q fusil has Coxeter group symmetry [ p ,2, q ], order 4pq. When p and q are identical, the symmetry in Coxeter notation is doubled as [ [ p ,2, p ]] or [2 p ,2 + ,2 q ], order 8 p2 . Edges exist on all pairs of vertices between the p -gon and q -gon.

  8. Eyeglass prescription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyeglass_prescription

    Eyeglass prescription. An eyeglass prescription is an order written by an eyewear prescriber, such as an optometrist, that specifies the value of all parameters the prescriber has deemed necessary to construct and/or dispense corrective lenses appropriate for a patient. If an eye examination indicates that corrective lenses are appropriate, the ...

  9. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    To measure RMS for each type of aberration involves squaring the difference between the aberration and mean value and averaging it across the pupil area. Different kinds of aberrations may have equal RMS across the pupil but have different effects on vision, therefore, RMS error is unrelated to visual performance.

  10. Amici prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amici_prism

    An Amici prism, named for the astronomer Giovanni Battista Amici, is a type of compound dispersive prism used in spectrometers. The Amici prism consists of two triangular prisms in contact, with the first typically being made from a medium-dispersion crown glass, and the second from a higher-dispersion flint glass.

  11. Binoculars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binoculars

    In roof prism designs, optically relevant prism angles must be correct within 2 arcseconds (1 / 1,800 of 1 degree) to avoid seeing an obstructive double image. Maintaining such tight production tolerances for the alignment of their optical elements by laser or interference (collimation) at an affordable price point is challenging.
