  2. Glare (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glare_(vision)

    Disability glare impairs the vision of objects without necessarily causing discomfort. [4] This could arise for instance when driving westward at sunset. Disability glare is often caused by the inter-reflection of light within the eyeball, reducing the contrast between task and glare source to the point where the task cannot be distinguished.

  3. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    When refractive errors in children are not treated, the child may be at risk of developing ambylopia, where vision may remain permanently blurry. [33] Because young children typically do not complain of blurry vision, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children have yearly vision screening starting at three years old so that unknown refractive errors or other ophthalmic ...

  4. Lens flare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_flare

    Lens flare on Borobudur stairs to enhance the sense of ascending. A lens flare is often deliberately used to invoke a sense of drama. A lens flare is also useful when added to an artificial or modified image composition because it adds a sense of realism, implying that the image is an un-edited original photograph of a "real life" scene.

  5. Veiling glare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiling_glare

    Veiling glare in a photograph from Cassini (spacecraft) Veiling glare caused by stray light reflecting inside the camera or scattering in the lens. Veiling glare is an imperfection of performance in optical instruments (such as cameras and telescopes) arising from incoming light that strays from the normal image-forming paths, and reaches the focal plane. [1]

  6. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    The appearance of visual complaints such as halos, glare and monocular diplopia after corneal refractive surgery has long been correlated with the induction of optical aberrations. Several mechanisms may explain the increase in the amount of higher-order aberrations with conventional excimer laser refractive procedures: a change in corneal ...

  7. Photopsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photopsia

    Photopsias is defined as an effect on the vision that causes appearances of anomalies in the vision. Photopsias usually appear as: flickering lights; shimmering lights; floating shapes; moving dots; snow or static; Photopsias are not generally a condition on their own, but a symptom of another condition.

  8. Blurred vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blurred_vision

    Alcohol intoxication can cause blurred vision. Use of cycloplegic drugs like atropine [4] or other anticholinergics cause visual blur due to paralysis of accommodation. [3] Cataracts: Cloudiness over the eye's lens, cause blurring of vision, halos around lights, and sensitivity to glare. [5] It is also the main cause of blindness worldwide. [2 ...

  9. Ocular straylight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_Straylight

    Scattering in the eye makes the source appear spread out, surrounded by glare. The disability glare caused by such a situation has been found to correspond precisely to the effect of true light. [1] [clarification needed] As a consequence, disability glare was subsequently defined by this true light, called "straylight". [1] [clarification needed]
