  2. Oculometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oculometer

    Oculometer is a device that tracks eye movement. [1] [2] The oculometer computes eye movement by tracking corneal reflection relative to the center of the pupil. [3]An oculometer, which can provide continuous measurements in real time, can be a research tool to understand gaze as well as cognitive function.

  4. Pseudoexfoliation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoexfoliation_syndrome

    PEX has been known to cause a weakening of structures within the eye which help hold the eye's lens in place, called lens zonules. [2] The literature recognizes pseudoexfoliation syndrome as a risk factor in cataract surgery. A review based on 999 eyes with pseudoexfoliation reported 156 intra- or postoperative incidents.

  6. Photoreceptor cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoreceptor_cell

    The function of the photoreceptor cell is to convert the light information of the photon into a form of information communicable to the nervous system and readily usable to the organism: This conversion is called signal transduction. The opsin found in the intrinsically photosensitive ganglion cells of the retina is called melanopsin.

  7. Tenon's capsule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenon's_capsule

    Tenon's capsule (/ t ə ˈ n oʊ n /), also known as the Tenon capsule, fascial sheath of the eyeball (Latin: vagina bulbi) or the fascia bulbi, is a thin membrane which envelops the eyeball from the optic nerve to the corneal limbus, separating it from the orbital fat and forming a socket in which it moves.

  8. Suppression (eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppression_(eye)

    Suppression of an eye is a subconscious adaptation by a person's brain to eliminate the symptoms of disorders of binocular vision such as strabismus, convergence insufficiency and aniseikonia. The brain can eliminate double vision by ignoring all or part of the image of one of the eyes.

  9. Pupil function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupil_function

    The pupil function or aperture function describes how a light wave is affected upon transmission through an optical imaging system such as a camera, microscope, or the human eye. More specifically, it is a complex function of the position in the pupil [ 1 ] or aperture (often an iris ) that indicates the relative change in amplitude and phase ...
