  2. Contact lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_lens

    Artist's impression of Leonardo's method for neutralizing the refractive power of the cornea. Leonardo da Vinci is frequently credited with introducing the idea of contact lenses in his 1508 Codex of the eye, Manual D, [9] wherein he described a method of directly altering corneal power by either submerging the head in a bowl of water or wearing a water-filled glass hemisphere over the eye.

  3. Laser blended vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_blended_vision

    Patients treated using Laser Blended Vision, have an increased depth of field compared to traditional monovision. [2] [19] With use of contact lens monovision there is a diminishing effect on distance vision, depth of field and contrast sensitivity (neural subtraction) [20] which is not seen with Laser Blended Vision; in fact Laser Blended ...

  4. Optical power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_power

    In optics, optical power (also referred to as dioptric power, refractive power, focusing power, or convergence power) is the degree to which a lens, mirror, or other optical system converges or diverges light. It is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length of the device: P = 1/f. [1] High optical power corresponds to short focal length.

  5. Effects of long-term contact lens wear on the cornea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_long-term...

    Long-term contact lens use can lead to alterations in corneal thickness, stromal thickness, curvature, corneal sensitivity, cell density, and epithelial oxygen uptake. . Other structural changes may include the formation of epithelial vacuoles and microcysts (containing cellular debris), corneal neovascularization, as well as the emergence of polymegethism in the corneal endoth

  6. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    A surgical technique offered is to create a "reading eye" and a "distance vision eye", a technique commonly used in contact lens practice, known as monovision. Monovision can be created with contact lenses, so candidates for this procedure can determine if they are prepared to have their corneas reshaped by surgery to cause this effect permanently.

  7. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    Vertex distance is the distance between the back surface of a corrective lens, i.e. glasses (spectacles) or contact lenses, and the front of the cornea. Increasing or decreasing the vertex distance changes the optical properties of the system, by moving the focal point forward or backward, effectively changing the power of the lens relative to ...
