  2. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    At a young age, severe far-sightedness can cause the child to have double vision as a result of "over-focusing". [11] Hypermetropic patients with short axial length are at higher risk of developing primary angle closure glaucoma, so routine gonioscopy and glaucoma evaluation is recommended for all hypermetropic adults. [12]

  3. Myopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myopia

    Axial myopia is attributed to an increase in the eye's axial length. ... (age, 5–17 years) found nearly one in 10 (9%) have at least −0.75 diopters of myopia. [142]

  4. Microphthalmia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphthalmia

    An ultrasound may also be conducted to confirm whether the axial length of the eye is clinically below average (i.e. at least 2 standard deviations below the age-adjusted mean). [3] [5] When a case of microphthalmia is detected, the patient should visit an eye specialist as soon as possible.

  5. Axial Age - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_Age

    Axial Age (also Axis Age, [1] from the German Achsenzeit) is a term coined by the German philosopher Karl Jaspers. It refers to broad changes in religious and philosophical thought that occurred in a variety of locations from about the 8th to the 3rd century BCE.

  6. Intraocular lens power calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_lens_power...

    The aim of an accurate intraocular lens power calculation is to provide an intraocular lens (IOL) that fits the specific needs and desires of the individual patient. The development of better instrumentation for measuring the eye's axial length (AL) and the use of more precise mathematical formulas to perform the appropriate calculations have significantly improved the accuracy with which the ...

  8. Exophthalmometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exophthalmometer

    In children and teenagers mean exophthalmometric measurements increase with age: Less than 4 years old (13.2 mm), 5–8 years old (14.4 mm), 9–12 years old (15.2 mm) and 13–17 years old (16.2 mm). [4] Axial Length of the eye affects exophthalmometer reading. Pseudoproptosis may be seen in severe myopia. [5]

  9. Emmetropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmetropia

    Emmetropia is the state of vision in which a faraway object at infinity is in sharp focus with the ciliary muscle [1] in a relaxed state. That condition of the normal eye is achieved when the refractive power of the cornea and eye lens and the axial length of the eye balance out, which focuses rays exactly on the retina, resulting in perfectly sharp distance vision.
