  2. Optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_neuropathy

    Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is the most frequently occurring mitochondrial disease, and this inherited form of acute or subacute vision loss predominantly affects young males. LHON usually presents with rapid vision loss in one eye followed by involvement of the second eye (usually within months).

  3. Adaptation (eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(eye)

    Changes in the sensitivity of rods and cones in the eye are the major contributors to dark adaptation. Above a certain luminance level (about 0.03 cd/m 2), the cone mechanism is involved in mediating vision; photopic vision. Below this level, the rod mechanism comes into play providing scotopic (night) vision.

  4. Acute visual loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_visual_loss

    Central retinal artery occlusion: CRAO is characterized by painless, acute vision loss in one eye. [11] Central retinal vein occlusion: CRVO causes sudden, painless vision loss that can be mild to severe. [12] Branch retinal vein occlusion: sudden painless vision loss or visual field defect are the main symptom of BRVO. [13]

  5. Eye movement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_movement

    So the eye movement constantly changes the stimuli that fall on the photoreceptors and the ganglion cells, making the image clearer. [11] Saccades are the rapid movement of eyes that is used while scanning a visual scene. In our subjective impression, the eyes do not move smoothly across the printed page during reading.

  6. Visual adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_adaptation

    Visual adaptation is the temporary change in sensitivity or perception when exposed to a new or intense stimulus, and the lingering afterimage that may result when the stimulus is removed. These continuous small adjustments reflect the neural coding process of the visual system , and exist so the brain can attempt to "normalize" the visual ...

  7. Macular degeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macular_degeneration

    Blurred vision: Those with nonexudative (dry) macular degeneration may be asymptomatic or notice a gradual loss of central vision, whereas those with exudative (wet) macular degeneration often notice a rapid onset of vision loss (often caused by leakage and bleeding of abnormal blood vessels). [citation needed]

  8. Neural adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_adaptation

    When a subjects’ vision was subjected to the constant stimulus of a single color, neural adaptations occurred that made the subjects used to the color. Once this adaptation had occurred, TMS was used to disrupt the subjects’ visual cortex again, and the flashes of light viewed by the subject were the same color as the constant stimulus ...

  9. Cyanopsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanopsia

    After cataract surgery, the natural lens, which filters blue light, is replaced with a synthetic lens that allows more blue light to pass through. This sudden increase in blue light reaching the retina causes the brain to perceive a blue tint in vision. This effect is temporary as the brain and eyes gradually adapt to the new lens.
