2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

   A prism of power 1 Δ would produce 1 unit of displacement for an object held 100 units from the prism. Thus a prism of 1 Δ would produce 1 cm visible displacement at 100 cm, or 1 metre. This can be represented mathematically as: = ⁡ where is the amount of prism correction in prism dioptres, and is the angle of deviation of the light.

   Esotropia. Esotropia is a form of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a "cross-eyed" appearance.

8. Mast cell stabilizer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_cell_stabilizer

   Mast cell stabilizers are medications used to prevent or treat certain allergic disorders. They block mast cell degranulation, stabilizing the cell and thereby preventing the release of histamine [ 1] and related mediators. One suspected pharmacodynamic mechanism is the blocking of IgE -regulated calcium channels.

9. Fixation disparity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_disparity

   Fixation disparity. Fixation disparity is a tendency of the eyes to drift in the direction of the heterophoria. While the heterophoria refers to a fusion-free vergence state, the fixation disparity refers to a small misalignment of the visual axes when both eyes are open in an observer with normal fusion and binocular vision.
