  2. Glare (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glare_(vision)

    Disability glare impairs the vision of objects without necessarily causing discomfort. [4] This could arise for instance when driving westward at sunset. Disability glare is often caused by the inter-reflection of light within the eyeball, reducing the contrast between task and glare source to the point where the task cannot be distinguished.

  3. Lens flare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_flare

    Lens flare on Borobudur stairs to enhance the sense of ascending. A lens flare is often deliberately used to invoke a sense of drama. A lens flare is also useful when added to an artificial or modified image composition because it adds a sense of realism, implying that the image is an un-edited original photograph of a "real life" scene.

  4. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    In order to see a clear image, the eye must focus rays of light on to the light-sensing part of the eye – the retina, which is located in the back of the eye.This focusing – called refraction – is performed mainly by the cornea and the lens, which are located at the front of the eye, the anterior segment.

  5. Computer vision syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_vision_syndrome

    Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a condition resulting from focusing the eyes on a computer or other display device for protracted, uninterrupted periods of time and the eye's muscles being unable to recover from the constant tension required to maintain focus on a close object.

  6. Chromatic aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

    The dyes used in the digital camera sensors for capturing color are not very efficient so cross-channel color contamination is unavoidable and causes, for example, the chromatic aberration in the red channel to also be blended into the green channel along with any green chromatic aberration.

  7. Ocular straylight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_Straylight

    Scattering in the eye makes the source appear spread out, surrounded by glare. The disability glare caused by such a situation has been found to correspond precisely to the effect of true light. [1] [clarification needed] As a consequence, disability glare was subsequently defined by this true light, called "straylight". [1] [clarification needed]

  8. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    The appearance of visual complaints such as halos, glare and monocular diplopia after corneal refractive surgery has long been correlated with the induction of optical aberrations. Several mechanisms may explain the increase in the amount of higher-order aberrations with conventional excimer laser refractive procedures: a change in corneal ...

  9. Veiling glare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiling_glare

    Veiling glare in a photograph from Cassini (spacecraft) Veiling glare caused by stray light reflecting inside the camera or scattering in the lens. Veiling glare is an imperfection of performance in optical instruments (such as cameras and telescopes) arising from incoming light that strays from the normal image-forming paths, and reaches the focal plane.
