  2. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    Vertex distance is the distance between the back surface of a corrective lens, i.e. glasses (spectacles) or contact lenses, and the front of the cornea. Increasing or decreasing the vertex distance changes the optical properties of the system, by moving the focal point forward or backward, effectively changing the power of the lens relative to ...

  3. Distance (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_(graph_theory)

    The latter may occur even if the distance in the other direction between the same two vertices is defined. In the mathematical field of graph theory, the distance between two vertices in a graph is the number of edges in a shortest path (also called a graph geodesic) connecting them. This is also known as the geodesic distance or shortest-path ...

  6. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    In glasses with powers beyond ±4.00D, the vertex distance can affect the effective power of the glasses. [4] A shorter vertex distance can expand the field of view, but if the vertex distance is too small, the eyelashes will come into contact with the back of the lens, smudging the lens and causing annoyance for the wearer.

  7. Eyeglass prescription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyeglass_prescription

    BVD Back vertex distance is the distance between the back of the spectacle lens and the front of the cornea (the front surface of the eye). This is significant in higher prescriptions (usually beyond ±4.00D) as slight changes in the vertex distance for in this range can cause a power to be delivered to the eye other than what was prescribed.

  8. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    In mathematics, a spherical coordinate system specifies a given point in three-dimensional space by using a distance and two angles as its three coordinates. These are the radial distance r along the line connecting the point to a fixed point called the origin; the polar angle θ between this radial line and a given polar axis; [a] and

  9. Graph center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_center

    Each black vertex is a distance of at least 4 from some other vertex. The center (or Jordan center [ 1 ] ) of a graph is the set of all vertices of minimum eccentricity , [ 2 ] that is, the set of all vertices u where the greatest distance d ( u , v ) to other vertices v is minimal.
