  2. Astigmatism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism

    Both 0 and 180 degrees lie on a horizontal line at the level of the center of the pupil, and as seen by an observer, 0 lies on the right of both the eyes. [medical citation needed] Irregular astigmatism, which is often associated with prior ocular surgery or trauma, is also a common naturally occurring condition.

  3. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    Consider a pair of spectacles to correct for myopia with a prescription of −1.00 m −1 in one eye and −4.00 m −1 in the other. Suppose that for both eyes the other parameters are identical, namely t = 1 mm = 0.001 m, n = 1.6, P = 5 m −1, and h = 15 mm = 0.015 m.

  4. Visual impairment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_impairment

    The American Medical Association has estimated that the loss of one eye equals 25% impairment of the visual system and 24% impairment of the whole person; [27] [28] total loss of vision in both eyes is considered to be 100% visual impairment and 85% impairment of the whole person. [27]

  5. Visual snow syndrome - Wikipedia

    [10] [11] The condition is typically always present and has no known cure, as viable treatments are still under research. [12] Astigmatism, although not presumed connected to these visual disturbances, is a common comorbidity. Migraines and tinnitus are common comorbidities that are both associated with a more severe presentation of the ...

    Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD) is a disorder of the eye that can cause pain and dryness.EBMD, also known as map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy and Cogan microcystic epithelial dystrophy, is a corneal epithelial disease that may result in recurrent corneal erosions, irregular corneal astigmatism, and decreased vision.

  7. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    A distant object is defined as an object located beyond 6 meters (20 feet) from the eye. [citation needed] When an object is located close to the eye, the rays of light from this object no longer approach the eye parallel to each other. Consequently, the eye must increase its refractive power to bring those rays of light together on the retina.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    The signs and symptoms of far-sightedness include blurry vision, frontal or fronto temporal headaches, eye strain, tiredness of eyes, etc. [2] The common symptom is eye strain. Difficulty seeing with both eyes (binocular vision) may occur, as well as difficulty with depth perception. [1]

    Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC or CSCR), also known as central serous retinopathy (CSR), is an eye disease that causes visual impairment, often temporary, usually in one eye. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] When the disorder is active it is characterized by leakage of fluid under the retina that has a propensity to accumulate under the central macula.
