2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

   A prism of power 1 Δ would produce 1 unit of displacement for an object held 100 units from the prism. [2] Thus a prism of 1 Δ would produce 1 cm visible displacement at 100 cm, or 1 metre. This can be represented mathematically as: = ⁡ where is the amount of prism correction in prism dioptres, and is the angle of deviation of the light.

[ 1] Generally, a difference in power of one diopter (1D) is the threshold for diagnosis of the condition. [ 2][ 3] Patients may have up to 3D of anisometropia before the condition becomes clinically significant due to headache, eye ...

6. Prism adaptation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_Adaptation

   Prism adaptation is a sensory-motor adaptation that occurs after the visual field has been artificially shifted laterally or vertically. It was first introduced by Hermann von Helmholtz in late 19th-century Germany as supportive evidence for his perceptual learning theory (Helmholtz, 1909/1962). [1] Since its discovery, prism adaptation has ...
