  2. Cataract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataract

    A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of the eye that leads to a decrease in vision of the eye. [1] [7] Cataracts often develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. [1] Symptoms may include faded colours, blurry or double vision, halos around light, trouble with bright lights, and difficulty seeing at night. [1]

  3. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    The most common method of classifying the shapes of aberration maps is to consider each map as the sum of fundamental shapes or basis functions. One popular set of basis functions are the Zernike polynomials. [2] Each aberration may be positive or negative in value and induces predictable alterations in the image quality. [9]

  4. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

    The human eye is an organ which reacts to light for several purposes. As a conscious sense organ, the eye allows vision. Rod and cone cells in the retina allow conscious light perception and vision including color differentiation and the perception of depth. The human eye can distinguish about 10 million colors. [3]

  5. Cataract surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataract_surgery

    Cataract surgery is the most common application of lens removal surgery, and is usually associated with lens replacement. It is used to remove the natural lens of the eye when it has developed a cataract, a cloudy area in the lens that causes visual impairment. [4] [10] Cataracts usually develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. [4]

  6. Entoptic phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entoptic_phenomenon

    Tscherning referred to this as the sixth image (the fifth image is formed by reflections from the anterior surfaces of the lens and cornea to form an image too far in front of the retina to be visible) and noted it was much fainter and best seen with a relaxed emmetropic eye. To see it, one must be in a dark room, with one eye closed; one must ...

  7. Optography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optography

    One of Wilhelm Kühne's rabbit optograms from 1878. The window the rabbit was facing appears to be discernible in the image. Optography is the process of viewing or retrieving an optogram, an image on the retina of the eye. A belief that the eye "recorded" the last image seen before death was widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries ...

  8. Corneal topography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_topography

    The curvature of the cornea could be determined from comparison of photographs of the rings against standardized images. In the 1980s, photographs of the projected images became hand-digitized and then analysed by computer. Automation of the process soon followed with the image captured by a digital camera and passed directly to a computer. [5]

  9. Chromostereopsis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis

    Blue–red contrast demonstrating depth perception effects 3 Layers of depths "Rivers, Valleys & Mountains". Chromostereopsis is a visual illusion whereby the impression of depth is conveyed in two-dimensional color images, usually of red–blue or red–green colors, but can also be perceived with red–grey or blue–grey images.
