  2. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    People with presbyopia require a convex lens for reading glasses; specialized preparations of convex lenses usually require the services of an optometrist. [15] Contact lenses can also be used to correct the focusing loss that comes along with presbyopia. Multifocal contact lenses can be used to correct vision for both the near and the far.

  3. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    Presbyopia: When the flexibility of the lens declines, typically due to age. The individual would experience difficulty in near vision, often relieved by reading glasses, bifocal, or progressive lenses. [14] Astigmatism is when the refractive power of the eye is not uniform across the surface of the cornea because of asymmetry. In other words ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Real image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_image

    In ray diagrams (such as the images on the right), real rays of light are always represented by full, solid lines; perceived or extrapolated rays of light are represented by dashed lines. A real image occurs at points where rays actually converge, whereas a virtual image occurs at points that rays appear to be diverging from.

  6. Laser blended vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_blended_vision

    Laser blended vision is a laser eye treatment which is used to treat presbyopia (ageing eyes; [1] progressive loss of the ability to focus on nearby objects) or other age-related eye conditions. [1] It can be used to help people that simply need reading glasses, and also those who have started to need bifocal or varifocal spectacle correction ...

  7. Ray (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_(optics)

    The principal ray or chief ray (sometimes known as the b ray) in an optical system is the meridional ray that starts at an edge of an object and passes through the center of the aperture stop. [5] [8] [7] The distance between the chief ray (or an extension of it for a virtual image) and the optical axis at an image location defines the size of ...

  9. 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 ...
