  2. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    Single vision lenses correct for only one distance. If they correct for far distance, the person must accommodate to see up close. If the person cannot accommodate, they may need a separate correction for near distances, or else use a multifocal lens (see below). Reading glasses are single vision lenses designed for near work and include over ...

  3. Scissors-glasses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scissors-glasses

    Scissors-glasses (or binocles-ciseaux) are eyeglasses, normally used to correct distance vision, mounted on scissoring stems rather than on temple stems as modern eyeglasses are. The invention of scissors-glasses solved the problem of the single-lensed monocle or "quizzing glass", thought to be tiresome to the eye, by providing two lenses on a ...

  4. Adjustable-focus eyeglasses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjustable-focus_eyeglasses

    Distance vision corrections are made by re-adjusting the lens for distance, instead of by tilting and/or rotating the head to view object through the best part of the lens for the distance. Adjustable focus lenses, like single-focus lenses, also reduce image-jump and spatial distortion in the field of view associated with traditional multi ...

  5. Multifocal intraocular lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifocal_intraocular_lens

    Multifocal and accommodating intraocular lenses are artificial intraocular lenses (IOLs) that are designed to provide focus of both distance and near objects, in contrast to monofocal intraocular lenses which only have one focal point and correct distance vision.

  6. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    c is decentration (the distance between the pupil centre and the lens's optical centre, in millimetres) f is lens power (in dioptres) The primary use of Prentice's rule is that under certain circumstances, the prescribed prism can be obtained without grinding prism into the lenses, by decentering the lenses as worn by the patient.

  7. Progressive lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_lens

    Right and left were identical variable power lenses with distance and reading power centers in the upper and lower part of the lens, respectively. The glazing was made to accommodate eye position changes from distance viewing to reading. The point of reading is about 14 mm below and 2 mm to the nasal side in comparison to distance viewing.

  8. Clear lens extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_lens_extraction

    In patients requiring only distance vision correction, a conventional mono-focal intraocular lens is placed in both eyes after the clear lens is removed. [1] While distance vision is fine in this, reading glasses are required for near vision. [1] Another method is to correct one eye only for distance vision and the other eye for near vision ...

  9. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

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

    Accommodation is the process by which the vertebrate eye changes optical power to maintain a clear image or focus on an object as its distance varies. In this, distances vary for individuals from the far point—the maximum distance from the eye for which a clear image of an object can be seen, to the near point—the minimum distance for a ...
