2. Laser blended vision - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_blended_vision

   Patients treated using Laser Blended Vision, have an increased depth of field compared to traditional monovision. [2] [19] With use of contact lens monovision there is a diminishing effect on distance vision, depth of field and contrast sensitivity (neural subtraction) [20] which is not seen with Laser Blended Vision; in fact Laser Blended ...

3. Contact lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_lens

   Artist's impression of Leonardo's method for neutralizing the refractive power of the cornea. Leonardo da Vinci is frequently credited with introducing the idea of contact lenses in his 1508 Codex of the eye, Manual D, [9] wherein he described a method of directly altering corneal power by either submerging the head in a bowl of water or wearing a water-filled glass hemisphere over the eye.

   Visual acuity with Distant chart with correctors Visual acuity with eye chart at Distant 20 feet (6 m) and with (cc: Latin cum correctore) correctors (spectacles); Dsc is without (sc: Latin sine correctore) correctors.

5. Effects of long-term contact lens wear on the cornea - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_long-term...

   Long-term contact lens use can lead to alterations in corneal thickness, stromal thickness, curvature, corneal sensitivity, cell density, and epithelial oxygen uptake. . Other structural changes may include the formation of epithelial vacuoles and microcysts (containing cellular debris), corneal neovascularization, as well as the emergence of polymegethism in the corneal endoth

6. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

   A surgical technique offered is to create a "reading eye" and a "distance vision eye", a technique commonly used in contact lens practice, known as monovision. Monovision can be created with contact lenses, so candidates for this procedure can determine if they are prepared to have their corneas reshaped by surgery to cause this effect permanently.

7. Optical power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_power

   Converging lenses have positive optical power, while diverging lenses have negative power. When a lens is immersed in a refractive medium, its optical power and focal length change. For two or more thin lenses close together, the optical power of the combined lenses is approximately equal to the sum of the optical powers of each lens: P = P 1 ...
