  2. Bifocals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifocals

    Bifocals can contribute to falls, [15] cause headaches, and even dizziness for some wearers. Adaptation to the small field of view offered by the reading segment of bifocals can take some time, as the user learns to move either the head or the reading material rather than the eyes.

  4. Aniseikonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniseikonia

    Aniseikonia is an ocular condition where there is a significant difference in the perceived size of images. It can occur as an overall difference between the two eyes, or as a difference in a particular meridian. [1] If the ocular image size in both eyes are equal, the condition is known as iseikonia. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snellen_chart

    Some clinics do not have 6-metre eye lanes available, and either a half-size chart subtending the same angles at 3 metres (9.8 ft), or a reversed chart projected and viewed by a mirror is used to achieve the correct sized letters. In the most familiar acuity test, a Snellen chart is placed at a standard distance: 6 metres.

  6. 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

  7. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    Vertex distance is the distance between the back surface of a corrective lens, i.e. glasses (spectacles) or contact lenses, and the front of the cornea. Increasing or decreasing the vertex distance changes the optical properties of the system, by moving the focal point forward or backward, effectively changing the power of the lens relative to ...
