  2. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    People with presbyopia require a convex lens for reading glasses; specialized preparations of convex lenses usually require the services of an optometrist. [15] Contact lenses can also be used to correct the focusing loss that comes along with presbyopia. Multifocal contact lenses can be used to correct vision for both the near and the far.

  3. Human tooth development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth_development

    This group of cells, called a clone, coaxes the dental lamina into tooth development, causing a tooth bud to form. Growth of the dental lamina continues in an area called the "progress zone". Once the progress zone travels a certain distance from the first tooth bud, a second tooth bud will start to develop.

  4. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    The increased equatorial zonular tension keeps the lens stable and flattens the peripheral lens surface during accommodation. As a consequence, gravity does not affect the amplitude of accommodation and primary spherical aberration shifts in the negative direction during accommodation. [42] [43] The theory has not found much independent support.

  5. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    Progressive lenses are corrective lenses used in eyeglasses to correct presbyopia and other disorders of accommodation. They are characterised by a gradient of increasing lens power , added to the wearer's correction for the other refractive errors .

    Evidence confirms that water fluoridation is a safe and effective way to help protect teeth against decay [12]: 4-5 The addition of fluoride to the water does not alter the taste or smell of the drinking water [citation needed] Fluoride therapy is often used to promote remineralization.
