  2. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    If the brain never learns to see objects in detail, then there is a high chance of one eye becoming dominant. The result is that the brain will block the impulses of the non-dominant eye. In contrast, the child with myopia can see objects close to the eye in detail and does learn at an early age to see objects in detail.

  3. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    Hyperopia or Farsightedness: When the refractive power is too weak for the length of the eyeball, one has hyperopia or farsightedness. People with hyperopia have blurry vision when viewing near objects because the eye is unable to focus the light sufficiently.

  4. 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 ).

  5. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    F = back vertex power (in 1/metres), (essentially, the prescription for the lens, quoted in diopters). If the difference between the eyes is up to 3 diopters, iseikonic lenses can compensate. At a difference of 3 diopters the lenses would however be very visibly different—one lens would need to be at least 3 mm thicker and have a base curve ...

  6. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    Side & back views shown. Most image distortions near the center are due to model being limited to 512 faces to make up the lens. Peripheral distortions are also present in animal lenses though are typically covered by the iris (anatomy) The previous video of the eye lens changing shape with focus is placed into context as the lens in this video ...

    More than a third of children around the world were nearsighted in 2023, and this proportion will rise to almost 40% in 2050, according to new research.

  8. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    Presbyopia is a visual condition that causes farsightedness. The eye's lens becomes too inflexible to accommodate to normal reading distance, focus tending to remain fixed at long distance. Glaucoma is a type of blindness that begins at the edge of the visual field and progresses inward. It may result in tunnel vision. This typically involves ...

  9. Progressive lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_lens

    The typical progressive lens is produced from a so-called semi-finished lens. The semi-finished lens is molded with an asymmetrical power pattern on the front. On the back side a custom surfacing is made to adjust the power for each patient. This method is however problematic, especially for astigmatic prescriptions.
