  2. Congenital fourth nerve palsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_fourth_nerve_palsy

    Prism lenses reduce vertical fusional demands by allowing the eyes to rest in their vertically misaligned state. When they are removed the patient may experience vertical diplopia they find hard to resolve due to the rested state of their eyes.

  3. Prism adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_Adaptation

    During prism adaptation, an individual wears special prismatic goggles that are made of prism wedges that displace the visual field laterally or vertically. In most cases the visual field is shifted laterally either in the rightward or leftward direction.

  4. Strabismus - Wikipedia

    Glasses affect the position by changing the person's reaction to focusing. Prisms change the way light, and therefore images, strike the eye, simulating a change in the eye position. Surgery. Strabismus surgery does not remove the need for a child to wear glasses. Currently it is unknown whether there are any differences for completing ...

  5. Prism (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(optics)

    An optical prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that are designed to refract light. At least one surface must be angled — elements with two parallel surfaces are not prisms. The most familiar type of optical prism is the triangular prism, which has a triangular base and rectangular sides.

  6. Binoculars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binoculars

    8×42 roof prism binoculars with rainguard and opened tethered lens caps. Binoculars or field glasses are two refracting telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point in the same direction, allowing the viewer to use both eyes (binocular vision) when viewing distant objects.

    It follows a group of children as they use AR glasses to unravel the mysteries of the half real, half Internet city, using a variety of illegal software tools, techniques, and virtual pets to manipulate the digital landscape.

  8. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prism correction. Prism lenses (here unusually thick) are used for pre-operative prism adaptation. Eye care professionals use prism correction as a component of some eyeglass prescriptions. A lens which includes some amount of prism correction will displace the viewed image horizontally, vertically, or a combination of both directions.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_optics

    Around 1286, possibly in Pisa, Italy, the first pair of eyeglasses was made, although it is unclear who the inventor was. The earliest known working telescopes were the refracting telescopes that appeared in the Netherlands in 1608.

  10. Strabismus surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strabismus_surgery

    Diplopia with normal binocular function is treated with prism glasses, botulinum injections into the muscles, or repeated surgery. If binocular function is not normal, a more individualized approach is necessary to best suit the patient's needs.

  11. Upside down goggles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upside_down_goggles

    Upside down goggles, also known as "invertoscopes" by Russian researchers, [1] are optical instruments that invert the image received by the retinas upside down. They are used to study human visual perception, particularly psychological process of building a visual image in the brain.
