  2. Vergence (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    This describes the vergence in terms of optical power. For optics like convex lenses, the converging point of the light exiting the lens is on the input side of the focal plane, and is positive in optical power. For concave lenses, the focal point is on the back side of the lens, or the output side of the focal plane, and is negative in power.

  3. Accommodation reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_reflex

    Light from a single point of a distant object and light from a single point of a near object being brought to a focus. The accommodation reflex (or accommodation-convergence reflex) is a reflex action of the eye, in response to focusing on a near object, then looking at a distant object (and vice versa), comprising coordinated changes in vergence, lens shape (accommodation) and pupil size.

  4. Depth perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception

    Perspective, relative size, occultation and texture gradients all contribute to the three-dimensional appearance of this photo. Depth perception is the ability to perceive distance to objects in the world using the visual system and visual perception. It is a major factor in perceiving the world in three dimensions.

  5. Vergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergence

    The two eyes converge to point to the same object. A vergence is the simultaneous movement of both eyes in opposite directions to obtain or maintain single binocular vision. [1] When a creature with binocular vision looks at an object, the eyes must rotate around a vertical axis so that the projection of the image is in the centre of the retina ...

  6. Prism fusion range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_fusion_range

    Prism fusion range. The prism fusion range (PFR) or fusional vergence amplitude is a clinical eye test performed by orthoptists, optometrists, and ophthalmologists to assess motor fusion, specifically the extent to which a patient can maintain binocular single vision (BSV) in the presence of increasing vergence demands.

  7. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    Eye examination for visual acuity. Visual acuity is a measure of the spatial resolution of the visual processing system. VA, as it is sometimes referred to by optical professionals, is tested by requiring the person whose vision is being tested to identify so-called optotypes – stylized letters, Landolt rings, pediatric symbols, symbols for the illiterate, standardized Cyrillic letters in ...

  8. Electroencephalography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroencephalography

    Electroencephalography. Epileptic spike and wave discharges monitored EEG. [ edit on Wikidata] Electroencephalography (EEG) [ 1 ] is a method to record an electrogram of the spontaneous electrical activity of the brain. The biosignals detected by EEG have been shown to represent the postsynaptic potentials of pyramidal neurons in the neocortex ...

  9. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    If, therefore, for two colors, a and b, = =, then for a third color, c, the focal length is different; that is, if c lies between a and b, then <, and vice versa; these algebraic results follow from the fact that towards the red the dispersion of the positive crown glass preponderates, towards the violet that of the negative flint.
