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 ...

4. Contact lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_lens

   Contact lens wearers can also wear sunglasses, goggles, or other eye wear of their choice without having to fit them with prescription lenses or worry about compatibility with glasses. Additionally, there are conditions such as keratoconus and aniseikonia that are typically corrected better with contact lenses than with glasses. [8]

5. Subjective refraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_refraction

   Subjective Refraction is a technique to determine the combination of lenses that will provide the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). [1] It is a clinical examination used by orthoptists, optometrists and ophthalmologists to determine a patient's need for refractive correction, in the form of glasses or contact lenses. The aim is to improve ...

6. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

   Glasses or "spectacles" are corrective lenses worn on the face a short distance in front of the eye. Contact lenses are worn directly on the surface of the eye. Intraocular lenses are surgically implanted most commonly after cataract removal, but recently for purely refractive purposes. Myopia (short sightedness) requires a divergent lens ...
