  2. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    Since most refractions (the measurement that determines the power of a corrective lens) are performed at a vertex distance of 12–14 mm, the power of the correction may need to be modified from the initial prescription so that light reaches the patient's eye with the same effective power that it did through the phoropter or trial frame.

  3. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Individuals with nystagmus, Duane's retraction syndrome, 4th Nerve Palsy, and other eye movement disorders experience an improvement in their symptoms when they turn or tilt their head. Yoked prism can move the image away from primary gaze without the need for a constant head tilt or turn. [1] Prism correction is measured in prism dioptres. A ...

  4. Tilt (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_(optics)

    Piston and tilt are not actually true optical aberrations, as they do not represent or model curvature in the wavefront. Defocus is the lowest order true optical aberration. If piston and tilt are subtracted from an otherwise perfect wavefront, a perfect, aberration-free image is formed. Rapid optical tilts in both X and Y directions are termed ...

  5. Dioptric correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioptric_correction

    At the bottom of the image: the eyeglass Dioptric correction [ 1 ] is the expression for the adjustment of the optical instrument to the varying visual acuity of a person's eyes . It is the adjustment of one lens to provide compatible focus when the viewer's eyes have differing visual capabilities.

    It seems glasses with classic frames — but surprising temples — offer a loophole. Like a version of the mullet haircut. Business in the front, party on the sides.

  7. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    Astigmatism causes difficulties in seeing fine detail. Astigmatism can be often corrected by glasses with a lens that has different radii of curvature in different planes (a cylindrical lens), contact lenses, or refractive surgery. [5] Astigmatism is quite common. Studies have shown that about one in three people suffers from it.

  8. Adaptive optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_optics

    Adaptive and active optics are also being developed for use in glasses to achieve better than 20/20 vision, initially for military applications. [24] After propagation of a wavefront, parts of it may overlap leading to interference and preventing adaptive optics from correcting it. Propagation of a curved wavefront always leads to amplitude ...

    But the glasses themselves (which took around 10 days to arrive — your mileage may vary) are great; they're lightweight and comfortable, and Pair nailed my fairly complicated progressive-lens ...
