  2. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    Presbyopia, like other focal imperfections, becomes less noticeable in bright sunlight when the pupil becomes smaller. [8] As with any lens, increasing the focal ratio of the lens increases depth of field by reducing the level of blur of out-of-focus objects (compare the effect of aperture on depth of field in photography ).

  3. Accommodative excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodative_excess

    Myopia: Young myopes performing excessive near work may also use excessive accommodation in association with excessive convergence. Astigmatism: Astigmatic eye may also be associated with accommodative excess. Presbyopia: Early presbyopic eye may also induce excessive accommodation.

  4. Accommodative insufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodative_insufficiency

    AI is generally considered separate from presbyopia, but mechanically both conditions represent a difficulty engaging the near vision system (accommodation) to see near objects clearly. Presbyopia is physiological insufficiency of accommodation due to age related changes in lens (decreased elasticity and increased hardness) and ciliary muscle ...

  5. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    Myopia or Nearsightedness: When the refractive power is too strong for the length of the eyeball, this is called myopia or nearsightedness. People with myopia typically have blurry vision when viewing distant objects because the eye is refracting more than necessary. Myopia can be corrected with a concave lens, which causes the divergence of ...

  6. Visual impairment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_impairment

    Visual or vision impairment (VI or VIP) is the partial or total inability of visual perception.In the absence of treatment such as corrective eyewear, assistive devices, and medical treatment, visual impairment may cause the individual difficulties with normal daily tasks, including reading and walking. [6]

  7. Refractive surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_surgery

    Refractive surgery is an optional eye surgery used to improve the refractive state of the eye and decrease or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses.This can include various methods of surgical remodeling of the cornea (keratomileusis), lens implantation or lens replacement.

    Seven of the study participants developed NAION, which Katz explained is a stroke of the optic nerve — the nerve that connects your eye to your brain — potentially causing irreversible vision ...

  9. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    Spherical aberration exacerbates myopia in low light (night myopia). In brighter conditions, the pupil constricts, blocking the more peripheral rays and minimizing the effect of spherical aberration. As the pupil enlarges, more peripheral rays enter the eye and the focus shifts anteriorly, making the patient slightly more myopic in low-light ...
