  2. Myodisc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myodisc

    A myodisc or myopic disk is a corrective lens with a steep concave curvature that is fitted on the posterior surface of a carrier lens, or a high power single-vision lens specially ordered with slab-off the edge, creating a central prescription disc. These are used for correction of extremely high myopia often seen in low vision patients. [1]

  3. Myopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myopia

    The prevalence of myopia has been reported as high as 70–90% in some Asian countries, 30–40% in Europe and the United States, and 10–20% in Africa. [130] Myopia is about twice as common in Jewish people than in people of non-Jewish ethnicity. [132] Myopia is less common in African people and associated diaspora. [129]

  4. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    In many vertebrates, such as cats, where high visual acuity is not a priority, there is a reflecting tapetum layer that gives the photoreceptors a "second chance" to absorb the light, thus improving the ability to see in the dark. This is what causes an animal's eyes to seemingly glow in the dark when a light is shone on them.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snellen_chart

    The largest letter on an eye chart often represents an acuity of 6/60 (20/200), the value that is considered "legally blind" in the US. Many individuals with high myopia cannot read the large E without glasses, but can read the 6/6 (20/20) line or 6/4.5 (20/15) line with glasses. By contrast, legally blind individuals have a visual acuity of 6/ ...

    Higher-quality optical-grade glass materials exist (e.g. Borosilicate crown glasses such as BK7 ( n d = 1.51680 , V d = 64.17 , D = 2.51 g/cm³ ), which is commonly used in telescopes and binoculars, and fluorite crown glasses such as the best optical quality low dispersion glass currently in production, N-FK58 made by the German company Schott ...

  7. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    If the brain never learns to see objects in detail, then there is a high chance of one eye becoming dominant. The result is that the brain will block the impulses of the non-dominant eye. In contrast, the child with myopia can see objects close to the eye in detail and does learn at an early age to see objects in detail. [medical citation needed]
