  2. Base (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(geometry)

    A skeletal pyramid with its base highlighted. In geometry, a base is a side of a polygon or a face of a polyhedron, particularly one oriented perpendicular to the direction in which height is measured, or on what is considered to be the "bottom" of the figure. [1] This term is commonly applied in plane geometry to triangles, parallelograms ...

  3. Botulinum toxin therapy of strabismus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botulinum_toxin_therapy_of...

    In a small-scale study, adults whose reading difficulties due to convergence insufficiency had been unsuccessfully addressed by convergence exercises, base-in prism glasses or strabismus surgery showed improved reading after botulinum toxin therapy, maintaining improved reading remaining also after six months. Use as primary therapy

  4. Infantile esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infantile_esotropia

    Infantile esotropia is an ocular condition of early onset in which one or either eye turns inward. It is a specific sub-type of esotropia and has been a subject of much debate amongst ophthalmologists with regard to its naming, diagnostic features, and treatment.

    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]

  6. Triangular prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_prism

    Triangular bipyramid. In geometry, a triangular prism or trigonal prism [1] is a prism with 2 triangular bases. If the edges pair with each triangle's vertex and if they are perpendicular to the base, it is a right triangular prism. A right triangular prism may be both semiregular and uniform . The triangular prism can be used in constructing ...

  7. Pentagrammic prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagrammic_prism

    Pentagrammic prism. In geometry, the pentagrammic prism is one of an infinite set of nonconvex prisms formed by square sides and two regular star polygon caps, in this case two pentagrams . It is a special case of a right prism with a pentagram as base, which in general has rectangular non-base faces. Topologically it is the same as a convex ...

  8. Vision therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_therapy

    Base-out prism reading, stereogram cards, computerized training programs are used to improve fusional vergence. The wearing of convex lenses. The wearing of concave lenses. "Cawthorne Cooksey Exercises" also employ various eye exercises, however, these are designed to alleviate vestibular disorders, such as dizziness, rather than eye problems.

  9. Minimum deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_deviation

    In a prism, the angle of deviation (δ) decreases with increase in the angle of incidence (i) up to a particular angle.This angle of incidence where the angle of deviation in a prism is minimum is called the minimum deviation position of the prism and that very deviation angle is known as the minimum angle of deviation (denoted by δ min, D λ, or D m).
