  2. Worth 4 dot test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worth_4_dot_test

    At both testing distances the patient is required to wear red-green goggles (with one red lens over one eye, usually the right, and one green lens over the left) When performing the test at far (distance) the W4LT instrument is composed of a silver box (mounted on the wall in front of the patient), which has four lights inside it.

  3. Astronomical seeing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_seeing

    The strength of seeing is often characterized by the angular diameter of the long-exposure image of a star (seeing disk) or by the Fried parameter r 0. The diameter of the seeing disk is the full width at half maximum of its optical intensity. An exposure time of several tens of milliseconds can be considered long in this context. The Fried ...

  4. Entoptic phenomenon - Wikipedia

    Then one should see the sixth Purkinje as a dimmer image moving in the opposite direction. The Purkinje tree is an image of the retinal blood vessels in one's own eye, first described by PurkynÄ› in 1823. It can be seen by shining the beam of a small bright light through the pupil from the periphery of a subject's vision.

  5. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

    A contact lens (also known simply as a contact) is a corrective, cosmetic, or therapeutic lens usually placed on the cornea of the eye. Modern soft contact lenses were invented by the Czech chemist Otto Wichterle and his assistant Drahoslav Lím , who also invented the first gel used for their production.

  6. Persistence of vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_of_vision

    Impressions of several natural phenomena and the principles of some optical toys have been attributed to persistence of vision. In 1768, Patrick D'Arcy recognised the effect in "the luminous ring that we see by turning a torch quickly, the fire wheels in the fireworks, the flattened spindle shape we see in a vibrating cord, the continuous circle we see in a cogwheel that turns with speed". [8]

  8. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    Astigmatism causes difficulties in seeing fine detail. Astigmatism can be often corrected by glasses with a lens that has different radii of curvature in different planes (a cylindrical lens), contact lenses, or refractive surgery. [5] Astigmatism is quite common. Studies have shown that about one in three people suffers from it.

  9. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    As with any lens, increasing the focal ratio of the lens increases depth of field by reducing the level of blur of out-of-focus objects (compare the effect of aperture on depth of field in photography). The onset of presbyopia varies among those with certain professions and those with miotic pupils. [9]
