  2. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    Presbyopia, like other focal imperfections, becomes less noticeable in bright sunlight when the pupil becomes smaller. [8] As with any lens, increasing the focal ratio of the lens increases depth of field by reducing the level of blur of out-of-focus objects (compare the effect of aperture on depth of field in photography ).

  3. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    It then becomes more common again after the age of 40, known as presbyopia, affecting about half of people. [4] The best treatment option to correct hypermetropia due to aphakia is IOL implantation. [2] Other common types of refractive errors are near-sightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. [10]

  4. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

    A corrective lens is a lens worn in front of the eye, mainly used to treat myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. The goal is to bring vision up to 20/20 vision or as close to this as possible. Glasses or "spectacles" are corrective lenses worn on the face a short distance in front of the eye.

  5. Laser blended vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_blended_vision

    Laser blended vision is a laser eye treatment which is used to treat presbyopia (ageing eyes; [1] progressive loss of the ability to focus on nearby objects) or other age-related eye conditions. [1] It can be used to help people that simply need reading glasses, and also those who have started to need bifocal or varifocal spectacle correction ...

  6. 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.

  7. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    Once presbyopia occurs, those who are emmetropic (i.e., do not require optical correction for distance vision) will need an optical aid for near vision; those who are myopic (nearsighted and require an optical correction for distance or far vision), will find that they see better at near without their distance correction; and those who are ...

  8. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    Presbyopia is a visual condition that causes farsightedness. The eye's lens becomes too inflexible to accommodate to normal reading distance, focus tending to remain fixed at long distance. Glaucoma is a type of blindness that begins at the edge of the visual field and progresses inward. It may result in tunnel vision. This typically involves ...

  9. Accommodative insufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodative_insufficiency

    AI is generally considered separate from presbyopia, but mechanically both conditions represent a difficulty engaging the near vision system (accommodation) to see near objects clearly. Presbyopia is physiological insufficiency of accommodation due to age related changes in lens (decreased elasticity and increased hardness) and ciliary muscle ...
