    Théâtre Optique advertisement bill, offering demonstrations daily between 2 and 5 (except Saturdays) The Théâtre Optique was not the first occurrence of projected animation. Mechanical animation projections and other more primitive moving picture techniques had already been featured long before in visual storytelling in magic lantern shows ...

    A Fata Morgana seen over the Baltic Sea, 2016. The mirage consists of multiple upright and inverted images over the original object. A Fata Morgana of a container ship seen off the coast of Oceanside, California A Fata Morgana changing the shape of a distant boat

  4. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

    The metric equivalent is 6/6 vision where the distance is 6 meters. The 20/ x number does not directly relate to the eyeglass prescription required to correct vision; rather an eye exam seeks to find the prescription that will provide at least 20/20 vision.

  5. Caustic (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caustic_(optics)

    The caustic is a curve or surface to which each of the light rays is tangent, defining a boundary of an envelope of rays as a curve of concentrated light. [2] In some cases caustics can be seen as patches of light or their bright edges, shapes which often have cusp singularities .

  6. Optical flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_flow

    Optical flow or optic flow is the pattern of apparent motion of objects, surfaces, and edges in a visual scene caused by the relative motion between an observer and a scene. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Optical flow can also be defined as the distribution of apparent velocities of movement of brightness pattern in an image.

  7. Optical power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_power

    For two or more thin lenses close together, the optical power of the combined lenses is approximately equal to the sum of the optical powers of each lens: P = P 1 + P 2. Similarly, the optical power of a single lens is roughly equal to the sum of the powers of each surface. These approximations are commonly used in optometry.

    0.6% risk of retinal detachment, 0.6% risk of cataract (other studies have shown a risk of 0.5–1.0%), and; 0.4% risk of corneal swelling. Other risks include: [citation needed] 0.03–0.05% eye infection risk, which in worst case can lead to blindness. (This risk exists in all eye surgery procedures and is not unique to IOLs.) glaucoma ...

  9. Ciliary muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciliary_muscle

    The ciliary muscle is an intrinsic muscle of the eye formed as a ring of smooth muscle [3] [4] in the eye's middle layer, the uvea (vascular layer).It controls accommodation for viewing objects at varying distances and regulates the flow of aqueous humor into Schlemm's canal.
