  4. Monochromacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochromacy

    The nystagmus and photo-aversion usually are present during the first months of life, and the prevalence of the disease is estimated to be 1 in 30,000 worldwide. [3] Since patients with RM have no cone function, they lack photopic vision, relying entirely on their rods and scotopic vision, [ 3 ] which is necessarily monochromatic.

  5. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    The caustic, in the first case, resembles the sign > (greater than); in the second < (less than). If the angle u1 is very small, O'1 is the Gaussian image; and O'1 O'2 is termed the longitudinal aberration, and O'1R the lateral aberration of the pencils with aperture u2.

  6. Eyeglass prescription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyeglass_prescription

    Using a phoropter to determine a prescription for eyeglasses. An eyeglass prescription is an order written by an eyewear prescriber, such as an optometrist, that specifies the value of all parameters the prescriber has deemed necessary to construct and/or dispense corrective lenses appropriate for a patient.

  7. Michelson interferometer - Wikipedia

    Figure 3. Formation of fringes in a Michelson interferometer This photo shows the fringe pattern formed by the Michelson interferometer, using monochromatic light (sodium D lines). As shown in Fig. 3a and 3b, the observer has a direct view of mirror M 1 seen through the beam splitter, and sees a reflected image M' 2 of mirror M 2.

    The Snap Spectacles 3, which did feature two HD cameras on-device, were ultimately announced in August 2019. [17] In May 2021, Snap announced its first AR-based product called Spectacles 4. [18] The AR effects are officially referred to as Lenses and feature dual 3D waveguide display with a 26.3-degree diagonal field of view.

  9. Photochromic lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochromic_lens

    A photochromic eyeglass lens, part of the lens darkened after exposure to sunlight while the other part remained covered. A photochromic lens is an optical lens that darkens on exposure to light of sufficiently high frequency, most commonly ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
