  2. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    The Abbe number for a material at a particular refractive index formulation is usually specified as its Abbe value. In practice, an Abbe number change from 30 to 32 will not have a practically noticeable benefit, but a change from 30 to 47 could be beneficial for users with strong prescriptions that move their eyes and look "off-axis" of the ...

  3. Abbe number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbe_number

    Abbe number. In optics and lens design, the Abbe number, also known as the V-number or constringence of a transparent material, is an approximate measure of the material's dispersion (change of refractive index versus wavelength), with high values of V indicating low dispersion. It is named after Ernst Abbe (1840–1905), the German physicist ...

  4. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    The axis value does not change with vertex distance, so the equivalent prescription for a contact lens (vertex distance, 0 mm) is −7.30 D of sphere, −4.13 D of cylinder with 85° of axis (−7.30 −4.13×85 or about −7.25 −4.25×85). Example 2: example prescription adjustment from contacts to glasses

  5. Diffraction-limited system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction-limited_system

    An optical instrument is said to be diffraction-limited if it has reached this limit of resolution performance. Other factors may affect an optical system's performance, such as lens imperfections or aberrations, but these are caused by errors in the manufacture or calculation of a lens, whereas the diffraction limit is the maximum resolution ...

  6. Orthodontic indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodontic_indices

    Each maloccluded tooth is given a value of 1 while tooth in perfect occlusion is given a score of 0. A score of 0 will indicate a perfect occlusion; score of more than 10 would be classified as sufficient severity that would require orthodontic treatment; score between 1 and 9 would be classified as normal occlusion in which no orthodontic ...

  7. Subjective refraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_refraction

    Subjective refraction. Subjective Refraction is a technique to determine the combination of lenses that will provide the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). [1] It is a clinical examination used by orthoptists, optometrists and ophthalmologists to determine a patient's need for refractive correction, in the form of glasses or contact lenses.

    Universal Numbering System. Universal numbering system. This is a dental practitioner view, so tooth number 1, the rear upper tooth on the patient's right, appears on the left of the chart. The Universal Numbering System, sometimes called the "American System", is a dental notation system commonly used in the United States. [1] [2]
