  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. Hypertropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertropia

    diplopia or double vision - more seen in adults (maturity / plasticity of neural pathways) and suppression mechanisms of the brain in sorting out the images from the two eyes. cyclotropia, a cyclotorsional deviation of the eyes (rotation around the visual axis), particularly when the root cause is an oblique muscle paresis causing the hypertropia.

  4. Multifocal intraocular lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifocal_intraocular_lens

    Multifocal IOLs: achieve near and distance vision by having two (bifocal) or three (trifocal) focal points simultaneously. The function of multifocal IOL depends on the pupil size for refractive types. The concept is based on the principle that the pupil tends to constrict for near tasks, so the central portion of the lens is designed for near ...

  5. Phacoemulsification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phacoemulsification

    D018918. [edit on Wikidata] Phacoemulsification is a cataract surgery method in which the internal lens of the eye which has developed a cataract is emulsified with the tip of an ultrasonic handpiece and aspirated from the eye. Aspirated fluids are replaced with irrigation of balanced salt solution to maintain the volume of the anterior chamber ...

  6. Diplopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplopia

    The provider may prescribe an eye patch to relieve the double vision. The patch can be removed after the nerve heals. Surgery or special glasses (prisms) may be advised if there is no recovery in 6 to 12 months. If diplopia turns out to be intractable, it can be managed as last resort by obscuring part of the patient's field of view.

  7. Clear lens extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_lens_extraction

    Procedure is similar to cataract surgery, most commonly followed by an intraocular lens implantation. In patients requiring only distance vision correction, a conventional mono-focal intraocular lens is placed in both eyes after the clear lens is removed. [1] While distance vision is fine in this, reading glasses are required for near vision. [1]

  8. Cataract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataract

    Frequency. 60 million (2015) [ 6 ] A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of the eye that leads to a decrease in vision of the eye. [ 1 ][ 7 ] Cataracts often develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. [ 1 ] Symptoms may include faded colours, blurry or double vision, halos around light, trouble with bright lights, and difficulty seeing ...

  9. Irvine–Gass syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irvine–Gass_syndrome

    Irvine–Gass syndrome, pseudophakic cystoid macular edema or postcataract CME is one of the most common causes of visual loss after cataract surgery. [1][2] The syndrome is named in honor of S. Rodman Irvine [3][4] and J. Donald M. Gass. [5] The incidence is more common in older types of cataract surgery, where postcataract CME could occur in ...
