  2. Sudden ionospheric disturbance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_ionospheric_disturbance

    A sudden ionospheric disturbance (SID) is any one of several ionospheric perturbations, resulting from abnormally high ionization/plasma density in the D region of the ionosphere and caused by a solar flare and/or solar particle event (SPE).

  3. Ionospheric storm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionospheric_storm

    Ionospheric storms can happen at any time and location. [6] F-region and D-region ionospheric storms are also considered main categories of ionospheric storms. The F-region storms occur due to sudden increases of energised electrons instilled into Earth's ionosphere. The F-region is the highest region of the ionosphere.

  4. Four prism dioptre reflex test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_prism_dioptre_reflex_test

    This test is performed on patients suspected to have small angle deviations of less than 10 prism dioptres, a microtropia, that may or may not have been observed on cover test because of subtle eye movements. The test determines whether the patient has bifoveal fixation or monofixation despite their eyes seeming straight.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosphere

    Relationship of the atmosphere and ionosphere. The ionosphere (/ aɪ ˈ ɒ n ə ˌ s f ɪər /) [1] [2] is the ionized part of the upper atmosphere of Earth, from about 48 km (30 mi) to 965 km (600 mi) above sea level, [3] a region that includes the thermosphere and parts of the mesosphere and exosphere. The ionosphere is ionized by solar ...

  7. Duochrome test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duochrome_test

    The eye with overactive accommodation may still require too much minus sphere in order to balance the red and green. Cycloplegia may be necessary. The duochrome test is not used with patients whose visual acuity is worse than 20/30 (6/9), because the 0.50 D difference between the two sides is too small to distinguish.

  8. Humphrey visual field analyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humphrey_Visual_Field_Analyser

    Requires a higher level of patient understanding and concentration compared to other visual field tests [9] Time-consuming; Learning effect: new patients improve as more tests are performed due to understanding of the test conditions. Consider the third test as the baseline result [23] Potential for artefacts (i.e. uncharacteristic vision loss ...

  9. Maddox rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_rod

    A) Esodeviation, B) Exodeviation, C) Hypo-deviation, D) Hyper-deviation, E) No deviation. Method for measuring horizontal deviations: When performing the clinical test, the room lights should be dimmed and only one light source should be visible. When testing at near, the patient is to fixate on light source at 33 cm, which is held at eye level.
