  2. Dilated fundus examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilated_fundus_examination

    The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends comprehensive eye examinations, including dilated fundus examination, for asymptomatic patients without risk factors for eye disease at varying frequencies based on age: every 5–10 years in adults under 40 years, every 2–4 years in adults aged 40 to 54 years, every 1–3 years in adults aged ...

  3. Eye relief - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_relief

    For a shooter, eye relief is also a safety consideration. If the eye relief of a telescopic sight is too short, leaving the eye close to the sight, the firearm's recoil can force the optic's eyepiece to hit and cut into the skin around the shooter's eye, leaving a curved scarring laceration on the medial end of the supraorbital ridge and the ...

  4. Aphakia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphakia

    Aphakia is the absence of the lens of the eye, due to surgical removal, such as in cataract surgery, a perforating wound or ulcer, or congenital anomaly. It causes a loss of ability to maintain focus ( accommodation ), high degree of farsightedness ( hyperopia ), [ 1 ] and a deep anterior chamber .

  5. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    There is some confusion over how the focusing mechanism of the eye works. [clarification needed] In the 1977 book, Eye and Brain, [13] for example, the lens is said to be suspended by a membrane, the 'zonula', which holds it under tension. The tension is released, by contraction of the ciliary muscle, to allow the lens to become more round, for ...

  6. Myopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myopia

    In 1632, Vopiscus Fortunatus Plempius examined a myopic eye and confirmed that myopia was due to a lengthening of its axial diameter. [147] The idea that myopia was caused by the eye strain involved in reading or doing other work close to the eyes was a consistent theme for several centuries. [95]

  7. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    Since most refractions (the measurement that determines the power of a corrective lens) are performed at a vertex distance of 12–14 mm, the power of the correction may need to be modified from the initial prescription so that light reaches the patient's eye with the same effective power that it did through the phoropter or trial frame.
