  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. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    People with hyperopia have blurry vision when viewing near objects because the eye is unable to focus the light sufficiently. This can be corrected with convex lenses, which cause light rays to converge prior to hitting the cornea. [14] Presbyopia: When the flexibility of the lens declines, typically due to age. The individual would experience ...

  4. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    Consider a pair of spectacles to correct for myopia with a prescription of −1.00 m −1 in one eye and −4.00 m −1 in the other. Suppose that for both eyes the other parameters are identical, namely t = 1 mm = 0.001 m, n = 1.6, P = 5 m −1 , and h = 15 mm = 0.015 m.

  5. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    Manifest hyperopia: It is the amount of hyperopia not corrected by ciliary tone. Manifest hyperopia is further classified into two, facultative and absolute. Facultative hyperopia: It is the part of hyperopia corrected by patient's accommodation. Absolute hyperopia: It is the residual part of hyperopia which causes blurring of vision for distance.

  6. 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 ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Near point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_point

    A corrective lens can be used to correct hyperopia by imaging an object at the typical near point distance D onto a virtual image at the patient's actual near point, at distance NP. [2] From the thin lens formula, the required lens will have optical power P given by [3] [4].

  9. Refractive surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_surgery

    Refractive surgery is an optional eye surgery used to improve the refractive state of the eye and decrease or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses.This can include various methods of surgical remodeling of the cornea (keratomileusis), lens implantation or lens replacement.
