  2. Shooting glasses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_glasses

    In contrast to most other eye glasses, shooting glasses usually only have one lens that corrects the ametropia of the dominant eye, which is used for aiming.This lens is selected in such a way that the maximum visual acuity lies on the font sight line element near the muzzle of the (non-magnifying) open type or diopter and globe type match sight line elements to get three points positioned in ...

  3. Accommodation reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_reflex

    Light from a single point of a distant object and light from a single point of a near object being brought to a focus. The accommodation reflex (or accommodation-convergence reflex) is a reflex action of the eye, in response to focusing on a near object, then looking at a distant object (and vice versa), comprising coordinated changes in vergence, lens shape (accommodation) and pupil size.

  4. Diopter sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diopter_sight

    Target shooting diopter of a 10 metre air rifle with a mounted semi-transparent occluder for the non-aiming eye. A diopter sight is an aperture sight component used to assist the aiming of ranged weapons, mainly firearms, airguns, and crossbows. Diopters function to precisely align the shooter's eye with the front sight and the target, while ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_humour

    The internal wall of the canal is very delicate and allows the fluid to filter due to the high pressure of the fluid within the eye. [7] The secondary route is the uveoscleral drainage , and is independent of the intraocular pressure, the aqueous flows through here, but to a lesser extent than through the trabecular meshwork (approx. 10% of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

    The human eye is an organ which reacts to light for several purposes. As a conscious sense organ, the eye allows vision. Rod and cone cells in the retina allow conscious light perception and vision including color differentiation and the perception of depth. The human eye can distinguish about 10 million colors. [3]

  7. Ballistic eyewear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_eyewear

    Investigations since this early work have included examining the effects of manufacturing and layering techniques on the ballistic performance of polycarbonates. [ 10 ] In the early 1970s, Wigglesworth investigated the ballistic resistance of 3 mm. and 2 mm. thicknesses of allyl resin and tempered glass as a function of the diameter of a small ...

  8. Human eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    The human eye is a sensory organ in the visual system that reacts to visible light allowing eyesight. Other functions include maintaining the circadian rhythm, and keeping balance. Arizona Eye Model. "A" is accommodation in diopters. The eye can be considered as a living optical device.

  9. Emission theory (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_theory_(vision)

    A raccoon's eyes brightly reflect a camera flash. The light from the eyes of some animals (such as cats, which modern science has determined have highly reflective eyes) could also be seen in "darkness". Adherents of intromission theory countered by saying that if emission theory were true, then someone with weak eyes should have their vision ...
