  2. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    Corrective lenses provide vision correction over a range as high as +4.0 diopters. People with presbyopia require a convex lens for reading glasses; specialized preparations of convex lenses usually require the services of an optometrist. Contact lenses can also be used to correct the focusing loss that comes along with presbyopia.

  3. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    Other symptoms may include double vision, headaches, and eye strain. Near-sightedness is due to the length of the eyeball being too long, far-sightedness the eyeball too short, astigmatism the cornea being the wrong shape, and presbyopia aging of the lens of the eye such that it cannot change shape sufficiently.

  4. Refractive surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_surgery

    myopia hyperopia astigmatism presbyopia. [ edit on Wikidata] Refractive surgery is optional eye surgery used to improve the refractive state of the eye and decrease or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses. This can include various methods of surgical remodeling of the cornea ( keratomileusis ), lens implantation or lens replacement.

  5. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    The signs and symptoms of far-sightedness include blurry vision, frontal or fronto temporal headaches, eye strain, tiredness of eyes etc. [2] The common symptom is eye strain. Difficulty seeing with both eyes ( binocular vision) may occur, as well as difficulty with depth perception. [1] The asthenopic symptoms and near blur are usually seen ...

  6. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    Anisometropia is caused by common refractive errors, such as astigmatism, far-sightedness, and myopia, in one eye. [6] Anisometropia is likely the result of both genetic and environmental influences. [7] Some studies suggest, in older adults, developing asymmetric cataracts may cause worsen anisometropia.

  7. Accommodative insufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodative_insufficiency

    Accommodative insufficiency ( AI) involves the inability of the eye to focus properly on an object. Accommodation is the adjustment of the curvature of the lens to focus on objects near and far. In this condition, amplitude of accommodation of a person is lesser compared to physiological limits for his age. [1]

  8. Laser blended vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_blended_vision

    Laser blended vision is a laser eye treatment which is used to treat presbyopia (ageing eyes; [1] progressive loss of the ability to focus on nearby objects) or other age-related eye conditions. [1] It can be used to help people that simply need reading glasses, and also those who have started to need bifocal or varifocal spectacle correction ...

  9. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    Spherical aberration is the cause of night myopia and is commonly increased after myopic LASIK and surface ablation. It results in halos around point images. Spherical aberration exacerbates myopia in low light (night myopia). In brighter conditions, the pupil constricts, blocking the more peripheral rays and minimizing the effect of spherical ...
