  2. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

    A computer system tracks the patient's eye position 60 to 4,000 times per second, depending on the brand of laser used, redirecting laser pulses for precise placement. Most modern lasers will automatically center on the patient's visual axis and will pause if the eye moves out of range and then resume ablating at that point after the patient's ...

  3. Focus (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    A convex elliptical mirror will reflect light directed towards one focus as if it were radiating from the other focus, both of which are behind the mirror. A convex hyperbolic mirror will reflect rays emanating from the focal point in front of the mirror as if they were emanating from the focal point behind the mirror.

  4. Eye contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_contact

    Two figures making eye contact in Caravaggio's The Fortune Teller c. 1595 Two students locking eyes. Eye contact occurs when two people or non-human animals look at each other's eyes at the same time. [1] In people, eye contact is a form of nonverbal communication and can have a large influence on social behavior.

  5. Focal length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_length

    The focal point F and focal length f of a positive (convex) lens, a negative (concave) lens, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror.. The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light; it is the inverse of the system's optical power.

  6. Mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror

    There are optical mirrors such as mangin mirrors that are second surface mirrors (reflective coating on the rear surface) as part of their optical designs, usually to correct optical aberrations. [65] Deformable thin-shell mirror. It is 1120 millimetres across but just 2 millimetres thick, making it much thinner than most glass windows. [66]

  7. Field of view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view

    For example, binocular vision, which is the basis for stereopsis and is important for depth perception, covers 114 degrees (horizontally) of the visual field in humans; [7] the remaining peripheral ~50 degrees on each side [6] have no binocular vision (because only one eye can see those parts of the visual field). Some birds have a scant 10 to ...

  8. Purkinje images - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purkinje_images

    At least four Purkinje images are usually visible in the normal eye. The first Purkinje image (P1) is the reflection from the outer surface of the cornea. The second Purkinje image (P2) is the reflection from the inner surface of the cornea. The third Purkinje image (P3) is the reflection from the outer (anterior) surface of the lens. The ...

  9. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    Higher order aberrations are a relatively small component, comprising about 10% of the eye's total aberrations. [3] High order aberrations increase with age and mirror symmetry exists between the right and the left eyes. [4] Several studies have reported a compensation of the aberration of the cornea by the aberration of the crystalline lens.
