  2. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    Caused by a foreign body, dust, sand, or grit trapped under the lens. Corneal edema Caused by decreased oxygen delivery to the tissue compressed by the lens. Usually resolved after the removal of the lenses. Discomfort upon lens removal may be seen. Neovascularization New blood vessels may form in the iris region and the limbus. This may impair ...

  3. Myopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myopia

    Myopia can be induced with minus spherical lenses, [57] and overminus in prescription lenses can induce myopia progression. [ 58 ] [ 59 ] Overminus during refraction can be avoided through various techniques and tests, such as fogging, plus to blur, and the duochrome test .

  4. Visual snow syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_snow_syndrome

    Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD), a condition caused by hallucinogenic drug use, is sometimes linked to visual snow, [26] but both the connection of visual snow to HPPD [8] and the cause and prevalence of HPPD are disputed. [9] Most of the evidence for both is generally anecdotal and subject to spotlight fallacy.

  5. Emmetropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmetropia

    Emmetropia is the state of vision in which a faraway object at infinity is in sharp focus with the ciliary muscle [1] in a relaxed state. That condition of the normal eye is achieved when the refractive power of the cornea and eye lens and the axial length of the eye balance out, which focuses rays exactly on the retina, resulting in perfectly sharp distance vision.

  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. A penny is too light and has too much air resistance to acquire enough speed to do much damage since it reaches terminal velocity after falling about 15 metres (50 ft). Heavier or more aerodynamic objects could cause significant damage if dropped from that height. [448] [449]

  8. Cosmic ray visual phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray_visual_phenomena

    With regards to the probable cause of the LF, the researchers concluded that nuclei are likely to be the main cause. They based this conclusion off of the finding that in comparison to an "All time" period, an "In LF time window" period saw the nucleus rate increase to about six to seven times larger, while the proton rate only increased by ...

  9. Entoptic phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entoptic_phenomenon

    Entoptic images have a physical basis in the image cast upon the retina. Hence, they are different from optical illusions, which are caused by the visual system and characterized by a visual percept that (loosely said) appears to differ from reality. Because entoptic images are caused by phenomena within the observer's own eye, they share one ...
