  2. Astigmatism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism

    Against-the-rule astigmatism – the horizontal meridian is steepest (a rugby ball or American football standing on its end). [17] Oblique astigmatism – the steepest curve lies in between 120 and 150 degrees and 30 and 60 degrees. [17] Irregular astigmatism – principal meridians are not perpendicular.

  3. Stokes lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_lens

    The Stokes lens also known as variable power cross cylinder lens, in its standard version, is a lens combination consisted of equal but opposite (one plano-convex and other plano-concave) power cylindrical lenses attached together in a way so that the lenses be rotated in opposite directions.

  4. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    Astigmatism can be often corrected by glasses with a lens that has different radii of curvature in different planes (a cylindrical lens), contact lenses, or refractive surgery. [5] Astigmatism is quite common. Studies have shown that about one in three people suffers from it. [6] [7] [8] The prevalence of astigmatism increases with age. [9]

  5. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    The abbreviation PH is followed by the visual acuity as measured with a pinhole occluder, which temporarily corrects for refractive errors such as myopia or astigmatism. PHNI means no improvement of visual acuity using a pinhole occluder. So, distant visual acuity of 6/10 and 6/8 with pinhole in the right eye will be: DscOD 6/10 PH 6/8.

  7. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    Near-sightedness is due to the length of the eyeball being too long; far-sightedness the eyeball too short; astigmatism the cornea being the wrong shape, while presbyopia results from aging of the lens of the eye such that it cannot change shape sufficiently. [3] Some refractive errors occur more often among those whose parents are affected.

  8. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    Anisometropia is caused by common refractive errors, such as astigmatism, far-sightedness, and myopia, in one eye. [6] Anisometropia is likely the result of both genetic and environmental influences. [7] Some studies suggest, in older adults, developing asymmetric cataracts may cause worsen anisometropia.
