  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. Distortion (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Distortion (optics) In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image. It is a form of optical aberration .

  4. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    Optical aberration. 1: Imaging by a lens with chromatic aberration. 2: A lens with less chromatic aberration. In optics, aberration is a property of optical systems, such as lenses, that causes light to be spread out over some region of space rather than focused to a point. [1]

  5. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    The formula for vertex correction is = (), where F c is the power corrected for vertex distance, F is the original lens power, and x is the change in vertex distance in meters.

    The first equation is known as the eikonal equation, which determines the eikonal is a Hamilton–Jacobi equation, written for example in Cartesian coordinates becomes ( ∂ S ∂ x ) 2 + ( ∂ S ∂ y ) 2 + ( ∂ S ∂ z ) 2 = n 2 . {\displaystyle \left({\frac {\partial S}{\partial x}}\right)^{2}+\left({\frac {\partial S}{\partial y}}\right ...

  7. 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.

  8. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    Thus, for an object in focus, the distance between the lens and image plane , the distance between lens and the object , and the focal length are related by the thin-lens equation: 1 s i + 1 s o = 1 f . {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{s_{\mathrm {i} }}}+{\frac {1}{s_{\mathrm {o} }}}={\frac {1}{f}}\,.}

  9. Petzval field curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petzval_field_curvature

    Petzval field curvature, named for Joseph Petzval, describes the optical aberration in which a flat object normal to the optical axis (or a non-flat object past the hyperfocal distance) cannot be brought properly into focus on a flat image plane.

  10. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Dispersion (optics) In a dispersive prism, material dispersion (a wavelength -dependent refractive index) causes different colors to refract at different angles, splitting white light into a spectrum. In optics and in wave propagation in general, dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency; [1 ...

  11. Spherical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_aberration

    Spherical aberration of collimated light incident on a concave spherical mirror. In optics, spherical aberration ( SA) is a type of aberration found in optical systems that have elements with spherical surfaces. This phenomenon commonly affects lenses and curved mirrors, as these components are often shaped in a spherical manner for ease of ...
