  2. Aniseikonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniseikonia

    Aniseikonia is an ocular condition where there is a significant difference in the perceived size of images. It can occur as an overall difference between the two eyes, or as a difference in a particular meridian. [ 1 ]

  3. Suppression (eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppression_(eye)

    Suppression of an eye is a subconscious adaptation by a person's brain to eliminate the symptoms of disorders of binocular vision such as strabismus, convergence insufficiency and aniseikonia. The brain can eliminate double vision by ignoring all or part of the image of one of the eyes.

  4. Macropsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macropsia

    In cases where macropsia affects one eye resulting in differences in the way the two eyes perceive the size or shape of images, the condition is known as aniseikonia. [1] Aniseikonia is known to be associated with certain retinal conditions. Epiretinal membrane has been found to cause metamorphopsia and aniseikonia.

  5. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    The second eye, with a −4.00 diopter prescription, is the weaker eye, needing moderate correction to sharpen the image formed, and hence a moderately thick spectacle lens—if the aniseikonia is ignored.

  6. Thygeson's superficial punctate keratopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thygeson's_superficial...

    Thygeson's superficial punctate keratopathy (TSPK) is a disease of the eyes.The causes of TSPK are not currently known, but details of the disease were first published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1950 by American ophthalmologist Phillips Thygeson (1903–2002), after whom it is named.

  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.

  8. Adelbert Ames Jr. - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelbert_Ames_Jr.

    Adelbert Ames Jr. was born on August 19, 1880, in Lowell, Massachusetts. [2] His father, Adelbert Ames, was a general in the Union Army during the Civil War and Reconstruction Governor and Senator from Mississippi; his mother, Blanche Butler Ames, was the daughter of U.S. general Benjamin F. Butler, a controversial military leader, politician, and unsuccessful candidate for the U.S. presidency.

  9. Heterophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterophoria

    Heterophoria occurs only during dissociation of the left eye and right eye, when fusion of the eyes is absent. If you cover one eye (e.g., with your hand) you remove the sensory information about the eye's position in the orbit. Without this, there is no stimulus to binocular fusion, and the eye will move to a position of "rest".
