  2. Diplopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplopia

    Efforts must first be made to identify and treat the underlying cause of the problem. Treatment options include eye exercises, wearing an eye patch on alternative eyes, prism correction, and in more extreme situations, surgery or botulinum toxin.

  3. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prism dioptres. Prism correction is commonly specified in prism dioptres, a unit of angular measurement that is loosely related to the dioptre. Prism dioptres are represented by the Greek symbol delta (Δ) in superscript. A prism of power 1 Δ would produce 1 unit of displacement for an object held 100 units from the prism. [2]

  4. Laser blended vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_blended_vision

    Laser blended vision is a laser eye treatment which is used to treat presbyopia (ageing eyes; [1] progressive loss of the ability to focus on nearby objects) or other age-related eye conditions. [1] It can be used to help people that simply need reading glasses, and also those who have started to need bifocal or varifocal spectacle correction ...

  5. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    Near-sightedness results in far away objects being blurry, far-sightedness and presbyopia result in close objects being blurry, and astigmatism causes objects to appear stretched out or blurry. Other symptoms may include double vision, headaches, and eye strain.

  6. Convergence insufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_insufficiency

    The symptoms and signs associated with convergence insufficiency are related to prolonged, visually demanding, near-centered tasks. They may include, but are not limited to, diplopia (double vision), asthenopia (eye strain), transient blurred vision, difficulty sustaining near-visual function, abnormal fatigue, headache, and abnormal postural ...

  7. Photorefractive keratectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photorefractive_keratectomy

    Vision after the PRK procedure has a longer recovery than LASIK which may be between five days and two weeks for blurred vision to properly clear. When LASEK is compared to LASIK, LASIK can have better outcomes with corneal haze while LASEK has a lower rate of flap complications than LASIK. Eligibility

  8. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    The signs and symptoms of far-sightedness include blurry vision, frontal or fronto temporal headaches, eye strain, tiredness of eyes etc. The common symptom is eye strain. Difficulty seeing with both eyes ( binocular vision ) may occur, as well as difficulty with depth perception. [1]

  9. Myopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myopia

    Myopia, also known as near-sightedness and short-sightedness, [5] is an eye disease [6] [7] [8] where light from distant objects focuses in front of, instead of on, the retina. [1] [2] [7] As a result, distant objects appear blurry while close objects appear normal. [1] Other symptoms may include headaches and eye strain.

  10. LASIK - Wikipedia

    MeSH. D020731. MedlinePlus. 007018. [ edit on Wikidata] Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis ( LASIK ), commonly referred to as laser eye surgery or laser vision correction, is a type of refractive surgery for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and an actual cure for astigmatism, since it is in the cornea. [1]

  11. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    Presbyopia is a typical part of the aging process. [4] It occurs due to age related changes in the lens (decreased elasticity and increased hardness) and ciliary muscle (decreased strength and ability to move the lens), causing the eye to focus right behind rather than on the retina when looking at close objects.
