  2. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    People with presbyopia require a convex lens for reading glasses; specialized preparations of convex lenses usually require the services of an optometrist. [15] Contact lenses can also be used to correct the focusing loss that comes along with presbyopia. Multifocal contact lenses can be used to correct vision for both the near and the far.

  3. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    Presbyopia: When the flexibility of the lens declines, typically due to age. The individual would experience difficulty in near vision, often relieved by reading glasses, bifocal, or progressive lenses. [15] Astigmatism is when the refractive power of the eye is not uniform across the surface of the cornea because of asymmetry. In other words ...

  4. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    The increased equatorial zonular tension keeps the lens stable and flattens the peripheral lens surface during accommodation. As a consequence, gravity does not affect the amplitude of accommodation and primary spherical aberration shifts in the negative direction during accommodation. [42] [43] The theory has not found much independent support.

  5. Visual impairment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_impairment

    Visual or vision impairment (VI or VIP) is the partial or total inability of visual perception.In the absence of treatment such as corrective eyewear, assistive devices, and medical treatment, visual impairment may cause the individual difficulties with normal daily tasks, including reading and walking. [6]

  6. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    If the brain never learns to see objects in detail, then there is a high chance of one eye becoming dominant. The result is that the brain will block the impulses of the non-dominant eye. In contrast, the child with myopia can see objects close to the eye in detail and does learn at an early age to see objects in detail. [medical citation needed]

  7. Eye strain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_strain

    Eye strain, also known as asthenopia (from astheno- 'loss of strength' and -opia 'relating to the eyes'), is a common eye condition that manifests through non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, pain in or around the eyes, blurred vision, headache, and occasional double vision. [1]

  8. Xerophthalmia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerophthalmia

    The condition is not congenital and develops over the course of a few months as the lacrimal glands fail to produce tears. Other conditions involved in the progression already stated include the appearance of Bitot's spots, which are clumps of keratin debris that build up inside the conjunctiva and night blindness, which precedes corneal ulceration and total blindness.

  9. Tooth ankylosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_ankylosis

    Since ankylosis may hinder the normal development of teeth, early diagnosis and intercession is important to avoid further progression and deterioration of the situation. [4] In particular, when such an abnormality is found in deciduous teeth among children and adolescents, it would often result in the infraocclusion of the ankylosed tooth ...
