2. Fixation disparity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_disparity

   This x-intercept is also referred to as aligning prism or – in earlier times – as associated phoria when the subjective nonius method was used (sP 0) the slope of the curve near zero prism load; Fig. 3: Fixation disparity as a function of the forced vergence angle which is induced by base-in prisms and base-out prisms in front of the eyes ...

3. Maddox rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_rod

   The Maddox rod test can be used to subjectively detect and measure a latent, manifest, horizontal or vertical strabismus for near and distance. The test is based on the principle of diplopic projection. [1] Dissociation of the deviation is brought about by presenting a red line image to one eye and a white light to the other, while prisms are ...

4. Prism correction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

   A prism of power 1 Δ would produce 1 unit of displacement for an object held 100 units from the prism. [2] Thus a prism of 1 Δ would produce 1 cm visible displacement at 100 cm, or 1 metre. This can be represented mathematically as: = ⁡ where is the amount of prism correction in prism dioptres, and is the angle of deviation of the light.

5. Exophoria - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exophoria

   Exophoria. Exophoria is a form of heterophoria in which there is a tendency of the eyes to deviate outward. [1] During examination, when the eyes are dissociated, the visual axes will appear to diverge away from one another. [2] The axis deviation in exophoria is usually mild compared with that of exotropia.

6. Minimum deviation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_deviation

   In minimum deviation, the refracted ray in the prism is parallel to its base. In other words, the light ray is symmetrical about the axis of symmetry of the prism. [1] [2] [3] Also, the angles of refractions are equal i.e. r 1 = r 2. The angle of incidence and angle of emergence equal each other (i = e). This is clearly visible in the graph below.

7. Tetragonal crystal system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetragonal_crystal_system

   In crystallography, the tetragonal crystal system is one of the 7 crystal systems. Tetragonal crystal lattices result from stretching a cubic lattice along one of its lattice vectors, so that the cube becomes a rectangular prism with a square base (a by a) and height (c, which is different from a).
