2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

   Yoked prism can move the image away from primary gaze without the need for a constant head tilt or turn. Prism correction is measured in prism dioptres. A prescription that specifies prism correction will also specify the "base". The base is the thickest part of the lens and is opposite from the apex.

3. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

   A pair of contact lenses, positioned with the concave side facing upward. 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.

4. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

   An optical system with astigmatism is one where rays that propagate in two perpendicular planes have different foci. If an optical system with astigmatism is used to form an image of a cross, the vertical and horizontal lines will be in sharp focus at two different distances. The term comes from the Greek α- ( a-) meaning "without" and ...

5. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

   Aberrations of the eye. The eye, like any other optical system, suffers from a number of specific optical aberrations. The optical quality of the eye is limited by optical aberrations, diffraction and scatter. [1] Correction of spherocylindrical refractive errors has been possible for nearly two centuries following Airy's development of methods ...

6. Prism cover test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_Cover_Test

   The prism cover test ( PCT) is an objective measurement and the gold standard in measuring strabismus, i.e. ocular misalignment, or a deviation of the eye. [1] It is used by ophthalmologists and orthoptists in order to measure the vertical and horizontal deviation and includes both manifest and latent components. [1]

7. 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 ...
