  2. Coma (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Coma of a single lens. Each cone of light focuses on different planes along the optical axis. In optics (especially telescopes), the coma (/ ˈ k oʊ m ə /), or comatic aberration, in an optical system refers to aberration inherent to certain optical designs or due to imperfection in the lens or other components that results in off-axis point sources such as stars appearing distorted ...

  3. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    In most cases, two thin lenses are combined, one of which has just so strong a positive aberration (under-correction, vide supra) as the other a negative; the first must be a positive lens and the second a negative lens; the powers, however: may differ, so that the desired effect of the lens is maintained. It is generally an advantage to secure ...

  4. Humphrey visual field analyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humphrey_Visual_Field_Analyser

    Used for neuro-ophthalmic conditions and general screening [5] as well as early detection of glaucoma [6] [7] 30-2: Measures 30 degrees temporally and nasally and tests 76 points. Used for general screening, early glaucoma and neurological conditions [6] The above tests can be performed in either SITA-Standard or SITA-Fast.

  5. Tunnel vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_vision

    Glaucoma is the leading cause for irreversible blindness globally. [11] Glaucoma usually starts with no symptoms to start losing peripheral vision, and if untreated, it can leads to a complete loss of peripheral vision, which is tunnel vision, and eventually, central vision will be affected leading to complete blindness.

  7. Lens induced glaucomas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_induced_glaucomas

    The crystalline lens inside the human eye has been implicated as a causative factor in many forms of glaucoma. Lens induced glaucomas or Lens related glaucomas are either open-angle or closed-angle glaucomas that can occur due to a neglected advanced cataract (cloudiness of the lens) or a dislocated lens. It is a type of secondary glaucoma.

  8. Visual field test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_field_test

    An examiner presents a test light of variable size and intensity. The light may move towards the center from the perimeter (kinetic perimetry), or it may remain in one location (static perimetry). The Goldmann method is able to test the entire range of peripheral vision and has been used for years to follow vision changes in glaucoma patients. [3]

  9. Luneburg lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luneburg_lens

    A variation on the Luneburg lens antenna is the hemispherical Luneburg lens antenna or Luneburg reflector antenna. This uses just one hemisphere of a Luneburg lens, with the cut surface of the sphere resting on a reflecting metal ground plane. The arrangement halves the weight of the lens, and the ground plane provides a convenient means of ...
