  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  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. List of optical illusions - Wikipedia

    The first is characterized by "ghostlike" grey blobs perceived at the intersections of a white (or light-colored) grid on a black background. The grey blobs disappear when looking directly at an intersection. The second is constructed by superimposing white discs on the intersections of orthogonal gray bars on a black background.

  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. Optical telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_telescope

    The Large Binocular Telescope at the Mount Graham International Observatory in Arizona uses two curved mirrors to gather light. An optical telescope is a telescope that gathers and focuses light mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, to create a magnified image for direct visual inspection, to make a photograph, or to collect data through electronic image sensors.

  8. 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.

  9. Three-mirror anastigmat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-mirror_anastigmat

    A three-mirror anastigmat is an anastigmat telescope built with three curved mirrors, enabling it to minimize all three main optical aberrations – spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism. This is primarily used to enable wide fields of view, much larger than possible with telescopes with just one or two curved surfaces.
