  2. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    Refractive surgery causes only minimal size differences, similar to contact lenses. In a study performed on 53 children who had amblyopia due to anisometropia, surgical correction of the anisometropia followed by strabismus surgery if required led to improved visual acuity and even to stereopsis in many of the children [ 9 ] ( see: Refractive ...

  3. Suppression (eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppression_(eye)

    The brain can eliminate double vision by ignoring all or part of the image of one of the eyes. The area of a person's visual field that is suppressed is called the suppression scotoma (with a scotoma meaning, more generally, an area of partial alteration in the visual field). Suppression can lead to amblyopia.

  4. Monofixation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monofixation_syndrome

    Monofixation syndrome (MFS) (also: microtropia or microstrabismus) is an eye condition defined by less-than-perfect binocular vision. [1] It is defined by a small angle deviation with suppression of the deviated eye and the presence of binocular peripheral fusion. [2]

  5. Amblyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amblyopia

    [1] [8] Without treatment, amblyopia typically persists. [1] Treatment in adulthood is usually much less effective. [1] Amblyopia begins by the age of five. [2] In adults, the disorder is estimated to affect 1–5% of the population. [5] While treatment improves vision, it does not typically restore it to normal in the affected eye. [2]

  6. Scotoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotoma

    Common causes of scotomas include demyelinating disease such as multiple sclerosis (retrobulbar neuritis), damage to nerve fiber layer in the retina (seen as cotton wool spots [3]) due to hypertension, toxic substances such as methyl alcohol, ethambutol and quinine, nutritional deficiencies, vascular blockages either in the retina or in the optic nerve, stroke or other brain injury, and ...

  7. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    When refractive errors in children are not treated, the child may be at risk of developing ambylopia, where vision may remain permanently blurry. [33] Because young children typically do not complain of blurry vision, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children have yearly vision screening starting at three years old so that unknown refractive errors or other ophthalmic ...

  9. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    Based on Wavefront map of the eye and with the use of laser a lens is shaped to compensate for the aberrations of the eye and then put in the eyeglasses. Ultraviolet Laser can alter the refractive index of curtain lens materials such as epoxy polymer on a point by point basis in order to generate the desired refractive profile. [1]
