   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.

   People with astigmatism have more difficulty with night driving and can have a decreased productivity due to errors. However, there are many ways to help correct astigmatisms: The use of glasses or contacts, Toric intraocular lenses, Toric implantable Collamer lenses, and/or corneal refractive surgery have been shown to correct astigmatisms.

4. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

   One must bear in mind that the human eye itself has an Abbe number V d ≈ 50.2 so the expensive, high-end optical glass types mentioned above have little value for central vision; however, the wearer's view through the side of a glass lens is not comparable to central vision through the eye: Low dispersion glass definitely makes optically ...

5. Progressive lens - Wikipedia

   Different designs of progressive lenses have more or less of this distortion. Fitting: Progressive lenses require careful placement relative to the wearer's pupil centre for a distance-viewing reference position. Incorrect specification of the fitting location can cause problems for the wearer including (depending on the design of the lens ...

6. Refractive error - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

   When an object is located close to the eye, the rays of light from this object no longer approach the eye parallel to each other. Consequently, the eye must increase its refractive power to bring those rays of light together on the retina. This is called accommodation, and is accomplished by the eye thickening the lens. [29]

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

   Glasses (also called eyeglasses or spectacles) are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes, normally for vision correction, eye protection, or for protection from UV rays. Modern glasses are typically supported by pads on the bridge of the nose and by temple arms placed over the ears .

   n November 1954, 29-year-old Sammy Davis Jr. was driving to Hollywood when a car crash left his eye mangled beyond repair. Doubting his potential as a one-eyed entertainer, the burgeoning performer sought a solution at the same venerable institution where other misfortunate starlets had gone to fill their vacant sockets: Mager & Gougelman, a family-owned business in New York City that has ...
