  2. Duochrome test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duochrome_test

    A duochrome test is a test commonly used to refine the final sphere in refraction (undercorrection and overcorrection), which makes use of the longitudinal chromatic aberration of the eye. Because of the chromatic aberration of the eye, the shorter wavelengths (green) are focused in front of the longer red wavelengths.

  4. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    When an eye focuses light correctly on to the retina when viewing distant objects, this is called emmetropia or being emmetropic. This means that the refractive power of the eye matches what is needed to focus parallel rays of light onto the retina. A distant object is defined as an object located beyond 6 meters (20 feet) from the eye.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humphrey_Visual_Field_Analyser

    The eye not being tested is patched and the room lights are dimmed prior to commencement of the test. [12] The patient is positioned appropriately and comfortably against the forehead rest and chin rest. Minor adjustments to the head position are made to centre the pupil on the display screen to allow eye monitoring throughout the test.

    The BSGT is used for patients with strabismus to test for suppression, normal retinal correspondence or abnormal retinal correspondence, [2] particularly in cases of manifest strabismus. [3] The Bagolini Striated Glasses Test is the test most likely to allow the demonstration of fusion in patients who fuse intermittently.

  7. Scanning laser polarimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_laser_polarimetry

    For healthy eye, the image will show yellow and red colour in superior and inferior at NFL regions. But, in glaucoma, the image is absence of red and yellow colours. Superiorly and inferiorly more uniform blue appearance. Picture indicates that the eye is at the advance stage of the disease.

  8. Pigment dispersion syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigment_dispersion_syndrome

    There is no cure, but pigmentary glaucoma can be managed with eye drops or treated with simple surgeries. If caught early and monitored, chances of glaucoma are greatly reduced. A 2016 Cochrane Review sought to determine the effectiveness of YAG laser iridotomy versus no laser iridotomy for pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma ...

  9. Glaucoma surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma_surgery

    Glaucoma is a group of diseases affecting the optic nerve that results in vision loss and is frequently characterized by raised intraocular pressure (IOP). There are many glaucoma surgeries, and variations or combinations of those surgeries, that facilitate the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower intraocular pressure, and a few that lower IOP by decreasing the production of ...
