2. Fixation disparity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_disparity

   A fixation disparity is not constant within a certain observer, but can vary depending on the viewing conditions. If test prisms with increasing amount are placed in front of the observer’s eyes, the fixation disparity changes in the eso direction with base-in prisms and in the exo direction with base-out prisms (Fig. 3).

3. Retroreflector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroreflector

   A typical surveying prism with back target. In surveying, a retroreflector—usually referred to as a prism—is normally attached on a surveying pole and is used as a target for distance measurement, for example, a total station. The instrument operator or robot aims a laser beam at the retroreflector. The instrument measures the propagation ...

4. 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.

5. Roof prism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_prism

   A roof pentaprism used in Single-lens reflex cameras; the lower right face is the roof (dach). An Amici roof prism. A roof prism, also called a Dachkanten prism or Dach prism (from German: Dachkante, lit. "roof edge"), is a reflective prism containing a section where two faces meet at a 90° angle, resembling the roof of a building and thus the name.

6. Wedge prism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_prism

   The wedge prism is a prism with a shallow angle between its input and output surfaces. This angle is usually 3 degrees or less. Refraction at the surfaces causes the prism to deflect light by a fixed angle. When viewing a scene through such a prism, objects will appear to be offset by an amount that varies with their distance from the prism.

7. Adjustable-focus eyeglasses - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjustable-focus_eyeglasses

   Adjustable focus lenses, like single-focus lenses, also reduce image-jump and spatial distortion in the field of view associated with traditional multi-focal lenses. Additionally, the ideal near-vision correction can be achieved with precision, because the variable lenses emulate the focusing action of the youthful (non-presbyopic) eye.
