  2. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    Total hypermetropia: It is the total amount of hyperopia which is obtained after complete relaxation of accommodation using cycloplegics like atropine. Latent hyperopia : It is the amount of hyperopia normally corrected by ciliary tone (approximately 1 diopter).

  3. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    Presbyopia, like other focal imperfections, becomes less noticeable in bright sunlight when the pupil becomes smaller. [8] As with any lens, increasing the focal ratio of the lens increases depth of field by reducing the level of blur of out-of-focus objects (compare the effect of aperture on depth of field in photography ).

  4. Myopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myopia

    Low myopia usually describes myopia between −0.50 and −3.00 diopters. [65] Moderate myopia usually describes myopia between −3.00 and −6.00 diopters. [65] Those with moderate amounts of myopia are more likely to have pigment dispersion syndrome or pigmentary glaucoma. [84] High myopia usually describes myopia of −6.00 or more.

  5. Accommodative excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodative_excess

    Hypermetropia: Young hypermetropes use excessive accommodation as a physiological adaptation in the interest of clear vision. Myopia: Young myopes performing excessive near work may also use excessive accommodation in association with excessive convergence. Astigmatism: Astigmatic eye may also be associated with accommodative excess.

  6. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    Myopia or Nearsightedness: When the refractive power is too strong for the length of the eyeball, this is called myopia or nearsightedness. People with myopia typically have blurry vision when viewing distant objects because the eye is refracting more than necessary. Myopia can be corrected with a concave lens, which causes the divergence of ...

  7. Blurred vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blurred_vision

    Other medical conditions may include refractive errors such as myopia, high hypermetropia, and astigmatism, amblyopia, presbyopia, pseudomyopia, diabetes, cataract, pernicious anemia, vitamin B 12 deficiency, thiamine deficiency, glaucoma, retinopathy, hypervitaminosis A, migraine, sjögren's syndrome, floater, macular degeneration, and can be ...

  8. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    For myopia the opposite is true: the divergent back surface is greater in magnitude than the convergent front surface. To correct for presbyopia, the lens, or section of the lens, must be more convergent or less divergent than the person's distance lens. Constant corrective power with different base curves require varying the back surface curvature

  9. Eye disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_disease

    (H52.0) Hypermetropia (Farsightedness) — the inability to focus on near objects (and in extreme cases, any objects) (H52.1) Myopia (Nearsightedness) — distant objects appear blurred (H52.2) Astigmatism — the cornea or the lens of the eye is not perfectly spherical, resulting in different focal points in different planes
