Amblyopia. Anisometropia is a condition in which a person's eyes have substantially differing refractive power. [ 1] Generally, a difference in power of one diopter (1D) is the threshold for diagnosis of the condition. [ 2][ 3] Patients may have up to 3D of anisometropia before the condition becomes clinically significant due to headache, eye ...
Exotropia is a form of strabismus where the eyes are deviated outward. It is the opposite of esotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than exophoria. People with exotropia often experience crossed diplopia. Intermittent exotropia is a fairly common condition. "Sensory exotropia" occurs in the presence of poor vision in one eye.
Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre ( / ˈsɑːrtrə /, US also / ˈsɑːrt /; [ 5] French: [saʁtʁ]; 21 June 1905 – 15 April 1980) was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic, considered a leading figure in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism.

Monofixation syndrome ( MFS) (also: microtropia or microstrabismus) is an eye condition defined by less-than-perfect binocular vision. [1] It is defined by a small angle deviation with suppression of the deviated eye and the presence of binocular peripheral fusion. [2] That is, MFS implies peripheral fusion without central fusion.
Exophoria. Exophoria is a form of heterophoria in which there is a tendency of the eyes to deviate outward. [ 1] During examination, when the eyes are dissociated, the visual axes will appear to diverge away from one another. [ 2] The axis deviation in exophoria is usually mild compared with that of exotropia .
The study authors said their findings support an existing theory that the hobbits evolved their small size a long time ago and were most likely a dwarfed version of Homo erectus, the first ancient ...
Micrograph showing a duodenal biopsy with gastric heterotopia; H&E stain. In medicine, heterotopia is the presence of a particular tissue type at a non-physiological site, but usually co-existing with original tissue in its correct anatomical location. In other words, it implies ectopic tissue, in addition to retention of the original tissue type.
Techno-progressivism. v. t. e. Extropianism, also referred to as the philosophy of extropy, is an "evolving framework of values and standards for continuously improving the human condition ". [ 1] Extropians believe that advances in science and technology will some day let people live indefinitely. An extropian may wish to contribute to this ...
