  2. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    When refractive errors in children are not treated, the child may be at risk of developing ambylopia, where vision may remain permanently blurry. [33] Because young children typically do not complain of blurry vision, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children have yearly vision screening starting at three years old so that unknown refractive errors or other ophthalmic ...

  3. Scotopic vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotopic_vision

    Mesopic vision occurs in intermediate lighting conditions (luminance level 10 −3 to 10 0.5 cd/m 2) [citation needed] and is effectively a combination of scotopic and photopic vision. This gives inaccurate visual acuity and color discrimination. In normal light (luminance level 10 to 10 8 cd/m 2), the vision of cone cells dominates and is ...

  4. Computer vision syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_vision_syndrome

    Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a condition resulting from focusing the eyes on a computer or other display device for protracted, uninterrupted periods of time and the eye's muscles being unable to recover from the constant tension required to maintain focus on a close object.

  5. Glare (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glare_(vision)

    Disability glare impairs the vision of objects without necessarily causing discomfort. [4] This could arise for instance when driving westward at sunset. Disability glare is often caused by the inter-reflection of light within the eyeball, reducing the contrast between task and glare source to the point where the task cannot be distinguished.

  6. Adaptation (eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(eye)

    Night vision is of lower quality than day vision because it is limited in resolution and colors cannot be discerned; only shades of gray are seen. [1] In order for humans to transition from day to night vision they must undergo a dark adaptation period of up to two hours [ 2 ] in which each eye adjusts from a high to a low luminescence "setting ...

  7. Blurred vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blurred_vision

    Alcohol intoxication can cause blurred vision. Use of cycloplegic drugs like atropine [4] or other anticholinergics cause visual blur due to paralysis of accommodation. [3] Cataracts: Cloudiness over the eye's lens, cause blurring of vision, halos around lights, and sensitivity to glare. [5] It is also the main cause of blindness worldwide. [2]

  8. Photokeratitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photokeratitis

    Explorers of the polar regions employed various methods and materials to protect their eyes from the harsh glare in snowy environments. Edward Evans noted the popularity of yellow and orange-tinted glasses among explorers, though some showed a preference for green. [ 15 ]

  9. Chromatic aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

    On digital cameras, the particular demosaicing algorithm is likely to affect the apparent degree of this problem. Another cause of this fringing is chromatic aberration in the very small microlenses used to collect more light for each CCD pixel; since these lenses are tuned to correctly focus green light, the incorrect focusing of red and blue ...
