  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    One wears glasses to see the world, but one also chooses frames to be seen by the world. That can create a decision paralysis. It seemed I was on the threshold of an identity crisis.

  6. 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 ...

  7. 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.

  8. 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 .

  9. Tilt (camera) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_(camera)

    The camera's tilt will change the position of the horizon, changing the amount of sky or ground that is seen. [5] A tilt downward is usually required for a high-angle shot and bird's-eye view while a tilt upward is for a low-angle shot and worm's-eye view. The vertical offset between subjects can reflect differences in power, with superiority ...
