  2. Eyeglass prescription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyeglass_prescription

    Using a phoropter to determine a prescription for eyeglasses. An eyeglass prescription is an order written by an eyewear prescriber, such as an optometrist, that specifies the value of all parameters the prescriber has deemed necessary to construct and/or dispense corrective lenses appropriate for a patient.

  3. Jackson cross cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_cross_cylinder

    Jackson cross cylinder of +/- 0.25 diopter. Jackson cross cylinder is a single low power lens, which is a combination of a plus cylinder and a minus cylinder of equal power with axis perpendicular to each other, with a handle placed between the two axes at 45 degrees.

  4. Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothed-particle...

    Schematic view of an SPH convolution Flow around cylinder with free surface modelled with SPH. See [1] for similar simulations.. Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a computational method used for simulating the mechanics of continuum media, such as solid mechanics and fluid flows.

  5. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    Visual acuity is a measure of how well small details are resolved in the very center of the visual field; it therefore does not indicate how larger patterns are recognized. Visual acuity alone thus cannot determine the overall quality of visual function. [8]

  6. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    Higher Abbe numbers mean a better lens material, and lower Abbe numbers result in the presence of chromatic aberration (i.e., color fringes above/below or to the left/right of a high contrast object), especially in larger lens sizes and stronger prescriptions (beyond ±4.00D). Generally, lower Abbe numbers are a property of mid and higher index ...

  7. Dot pitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_pitch

    Some types of pixel layout showing how pixel pitch is measured. Dot pitch (sometimes called line pitch, stripe pitch, or phosphor pitch) is a specification for a computer display, computer printer, image scanner, or other pixel-based devices that describe the distance, for example, between dots on a display screen.

  8. Absolute threshold of hearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_threshold_of_hearing

    The stimulus level is varied continuously via a dial and the stimulus level is measured by the tester at the end. The threshold is the mean of the just audible and just inaudible levels. Also this method can produce several biases. To avoid giving cues about the actual stimulus level, the dial must be unlabeled.
