  2. Amblyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amblyopia

    The cause of amblyopia can be any condition that interferes with focusing during early childhood. [ 1 ] [ 6 ] This can occur from poor alignment of the eyes (strabismic), an eye being irregularly shaped such that focusing is difficult, one eye being more nearsighted or farsighted than the other (refractive), or clouding of the lens of an eye ...

  3. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    Accommodative dysfunction, binocular dysfunction, amblyopia, strabismus [3] Causes: Axial length of eyeball is too short, lens or cornea is flatter than normal, aphakia [2] Risk factors: Ageing, hereditary [2] Diagnostic method: Eye exam: Differential diagnosis: Amblyopia, retrobulbar optic neuropathy, retinitis pigmentosa sine pigmento [4 ...

  4. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    Caused by a foreign body, dust, sand, or grit trapped under the lens. Corneal edema Caused by decreased oxygen delivery to the tissue compressed by the lens. Usually resolved after the removal of the lenses. Discomfort upon lens removal may be seen. Neovascularization New blood vessels may form in the iris region and the limbus. This may impair ...

  5. Lazy eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_eye

    Amblyopia, a disorder of visual development in which the brain partially or wholly ignores input from one or both eyes; Strabismus, a disorder of ocular alignment in which the eyes aim in different directions; Ptosis (eyelid), drooping or falling of the upper or lower eyelid

  6. Ptosis (eyelid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptosis_(eyelid)

    Ptosis caused by oculomotor palsy can be unilateral or bilateral, as the subnucleus to the levator muscle is a shared midline structure in the brainstem. In cases where the palsy is caused by the compression of the nerve by a tumor or aneurysm, it is highly likely to result in an abnormal ipsilateral papillary response and a larger pupil ...

  7. Strabismus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strabismus

    When strabismus is congenital or develops in infancy, it can cause amblyopia, in which the brain ignores input from the deviated eye. Even with therapy for amblyopia, stereoblindness may occur. The appearance of strabismus may also be a cosmetic problem. One study reported 85% of adults with strabismus "reported that they had problems with work ...

  8. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    Anisometropia causes some people to have mild vision problems, or occasionally more serious symptoms like alternating vision or frequent squinting. However, since most people do not show any clear symptoms, the condition usually is found during a routine eye exam. [8] For early detection in preverbal children, photoscreening can be used.

  9. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    The path of light through the eye calculated using four refractive indexes, cornea and lens curvatures approximating components of real eyes. Note objects in some size ranges and distances do not require the light path to bend noticeably to achieve focus.
