2. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

   Since most refractions (the measurement that determines the power of a corrective lens) are performed at a vertex distance of 12–14 mm, the power of the correction may need to be modified from the initial prescription so that light reaches the patient's eye with the same effective power that it did through the phoropter or trial frame.

3. Prism correction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

   Individuals with nystagmus, Duane's retraction syndrome, 4th Nerve Palsy, and other eye movement disorders experience an improvement in their symptoms when they turn or tilt their head. Yoked prism can move the image away from primary gaze without the need for a constant head tilt or turn. [1] Prism correction is measured in prism dioptres. A ...

4. Adjustable-focus eyeglasses - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjustable-focus_eyeglasses

   Adjustable focus eyeglasses have one focal length, but it is variable without having to change where one is looking. Possible uses for such glasses are to provide inexpensive eyeglasses for people from low-income groups, developing countries, third world countries or to accommodate for presbyopia.

6. Ophthalmic trial frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophthalmic_trial_frame

   A trial frame is a tool used by ophthalmic professionals like ophthalmologists and optometrists. It is basically an adjustable spectacle frame with multiple cells, used to hold corrective lenses , and other accessories in subjective refraction (finding the correct spectacle power) and retinoscopy .

7. Dioptric correction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioptric_correction

   At the bottom of the image: the eyeglass Dioptric correction [ 1 ] is the expression for the adjustment of the optical instrument to the varying visual acuity of a person's eyes . It is the adjustment of one lens to provide compatible focus when the viewer's eyes have differing visual capabilities.

8. Level (optical instrument) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_(optical_instrument)

   The complete unit is normally mounted on a tripod, and the telescope can freely rotate 360° in a horizontal plane.The surveyor adjusts the instrument's level by coarse adjustment of the tripod legs and fine adjustment using three precision levelling screws on the instrument to make the rotational plane horizontal.

9. Adaptive optics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_optics

   Illustration of a (simplified) adaptive optics system. The light first hits a tip–tilt (TT) mirror and then a deformable mirror (DM) which corrects the wavefront. Part of the light is tapped off by a beamsplitter (BS) to the wavefront sensor and the control hardware which sends updated signals to the DM and TT mirrors.
