  2. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    A distant object is defined as an object located beyond 6 meters (20 feet) from the eye. [citation needed] When an object is located close to the eye, the rays of light from this object no longer approach the eye parallel to each other. Consequently, the eye must increase its refractive power to bring those rays of light together on the retina.

    The anterior chamber is the aqueous humor-filled space inside the eye between the iris and the cornea's innermost surface, the endothelium.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    The eye, like any other optical system, suffers from a number of specific optical aberrations. The optical quality of the eye is limited by optical aberrations, diffraction and scatter . [ 1 ] Correction of spherocylindrical refractive errors has been possible for nearly two centuries following Airy's development of methods to measure and ...

  8. Entoptic phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entoptic_phenomenon

    They are visible because they move; were they pinned to the retina by the vitreous or fixed in position within the vitreous itself they would be as invisible as other objects fixed in position within the eye, such as the retinal blood vessels (see: "Purkinje tree" below). Some may be individual red blood cells swollen due to osmotic pressure.

  9. Pseudoexfoliation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoexfoliation_syndrome

    PEX has been known to cause a weakening of structures within the eye which help hold the eye's lens in place, called lens zonules. [2] The literature recognizes pseudoexfoliation syndrome as a risk factor in cataract surgery. A review based on 999 eyes with pseudoexfoliation reported 156 intra- or postoperative incidents.
