  2. Esophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophoria

    Esophoria is an eye condition involving inward deviation of the eye, usually due to extra-ocular muscle imbalance. It is a type of heterophoria. Cause. Causes include: Refractive errors; Divergence insufficiency; Convergence excess; this can be due to nerve, muscle, congenital or mechanical anomalies.

  3. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    Amblyopia. Anisometropia is a condition in which a person's eyes have substantially differing refractive power. [1] Generally, a difference in power of one diopter (1D) is the threshold for diagnosis of the condition . [2] [3] Patients may have up to 3D of anisometropia before the condition becomes clinically significant due to headache, eye ...

  4. Esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esotropia

    Ophthalmology. Esotropia is a form of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a "cross-eyed" appearance. [1] It is the opposite of exotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than esophoria.

  5. Posterior chamber of eyeball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_chamber_of_eyeball

    Anterior part of the human eye, with label of posterior chamber at right. The posterior chamber is a narrow space behind the peripheral part of the iris, and in front of the suspensory ligament of the lens and the ciliary processes. The posterior chamber consists of small space directly posterior to the iris but anterior to the lens.

  6. Frontal eye fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_eye_fields

    Frontal eye field. The frontal eye fields ( FEF) are a region located in the frontal cortex, more specifically in Brodmann area 8 or BA8, [1] of the primate brain. In humans, it can be more accurately said to lie in a region around the intersection of the middle frontal gyrus with the precentral gyrus, consisting of a frontal and parietal ...

  7. Strabismus - Wikipedia

    Glasses, surgery [3] Frequency. ~2% (children) [3] Strabismus is a vision disorder in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. [2] The eye that is pointed at an object can alternate. [3] The condition may be present occasionally or constantly. [3]

  8. Retinal ganglion cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_ganglion_cell

    A retinal ganglion cell (RGC) is a type of neuron located near the inner surface (the ganglion cell layer) of the retina of the eye. It receives visual information from photoreceptors via two intermediate neuron types: bipolar cells and retina amacrine cells.

  9. Orbicularis oculi muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbicularis_oculi_muscle

    Function. The muscle acts to close the eye, and is the only muscle capable of doing so. Loss of function for any reason results in an inability to close the eye, necessitating eye drops at the minimum to surgical closure of the eye in extreme cases.

  10. Ora serrata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ora_serrata

    Ora serrata. Diagram of the blood vessels of the eye, as seen in a horizontal section. The ora serrata is the serrated junction between the choroid and the ciliary body. This junction marks the transition from the simple, non-photosensitive area of the ciliary body to the complex, multi-layered, photosensitive region of the retina.

  11. Retinal pigment epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_pigment_epithelium

    6782. FMA. 58627. Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] The pigmented layer of retina or retinal pigment epithelium ( RPE) is the pigmented cell layer just outside the neurosensory retina that nourishes retinal visual cells, and is firmly attached to the underlying choroid and overlying retinal visual cells.
