    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    Corrective lens. A corrective lens is a transmissive optical device that is worn on the eye to improve visual perception. The most common use is to treat refractive errors: myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Glasses or "spectacles" are worn on the face a short distance in front of the eye.

  3. Eyeglass prescription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyeglass_prescription

    Eyeglass prescription. Using a phoropter to determine a prescription for eyeglasses. An eyeglass prescription is an order written by an eyewear prescriber, such as an optometrist, that specifies the value of all parameters the prescriber has deemed necessary to construct and/or dispense corrective lenses appropriate for a patient.

  4. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prism lenses (here unusually thick) are used for pre-operative prism adaptation. Eye care professionals use prism correction as a component of some eyeglass prescriptions.A lens which includes some amount of prism correction will displace the viewed image horizontally, vertically, or a combination of both directions.

  5. Adjustable-focus eyeglasses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjustable-focus_eyeglasses

    Adjustable focus eyeglasses are eyeglasses with an adjustable focal length. They compensate for refractive errors (such as presbyopia) by providing variable focusing, allowing users to adjust them for desired distance or prescription, or both. Current bifocals and progressive lenses are static, in that the user has to change their eye position ...

    One file container format that can be used to store JPEG XR image data is specified in Annex A of the JPEG XR standard. It is a TIFF-like format using a table of Image File Directory (IFD) tags. A JPEG XR file contains image data, optional alpha channel data, metadata, optional XMP metadata stored as RDF/XML, and optional Exif metadata, in IFD ...

  7. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    In order to see a clear image, the eye must focus rays of light on to the light-sensing part of the eye - the retina, which is located in the back of the eye.This focusing - called refraction - is performed mainly by the cornea and the lens, which are located at the front of the eye, the anterior segment.

  8. High Efficiency Image File Format - Wikipedia

    High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC, ITU-T H.265) [14] is an encoding format for graphic data, first standardized in 2013. It is the primarily used and implied default codec for HEIF as specified in the normative Annex B to ISO/IEC 23008-12 HEVC Image File Format . While not introduced formally in the standard, the acronym HEIC (High-Efficiency ...
