  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    A lens which includes some amount of prism correction will displace the viewed image horizontally, vertically, or a combination of both directions. 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 ...

  3. 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.

  4. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    Cones are found primarily in the center (or fovea) of the retina. There are three types of cones that differ in the wavelengths of light they absorb; they are usually called short or blue, middle or green, and long or red. Cones mediate day vision and can distinguish color and other features of the visual world at medium and high light levels ...

  5. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    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.

  6. Visual phototransduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_phototransduction

    Visual phototransduction is the sensory transduction process of the visual system by which light is detected by photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) in the vertebrate retina. A photon is absorbed by a retinal chromophore (each bound to an opsin ), which initiates a signal cascade through several intermediate cells, then through the retinal ...

  7. Duplex retina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplex_retina

    A duplex retina is a retina consisting of both rod cells and cone cells, [1] which are the photoreceptor cells for two parallel but mostly separate visual systems. The rods enable the scotopic visual system, which is active in dim light. The cones enable the photopic visual system, which is active in bright light.

  8. Hypertropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertropia

    Prism therapy (if tolerated, to manage diplopia) Vision Therapy. Patching (mainly to manage amblyopia in children and diplopia in adults) Botulinum toxin injection. Surgical correction. Surgical correction of the hypertropia is desired to achieve binocularity, manage diplopia and/or correct the cosmetic defect.

  9. Vision in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_in_fish

    Some experiments indicate that, by using polarization, some fish can tune their vision to give them double their normal prey sighting distance. Double cones. Most fish have double cones, a pair of cone cells joined to each other. Each member of the double cone may have a different peak absorbance, and behavioural evidence supports the idea that ...

  10. 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.

  11. Stereoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy

    Solving the Correspondence problem in the field of Computer Vision aims to create meaningful depth information from two images. Visual requirements. Anatomically, there are 3 levels of binocular vision required to view stereo images: Simultaneous perception; Fusion (binocular 'single' vision) Stereopsis; These functions develop in early childhood.
