  2. Intraocular lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_lens

    Most IOLs fitted today are fixed monofocal lenses matched to distance vision. However, other types are available, such as a multifocal intraocular lens that provides multiple-focused vision at far and reading distance, and adaptive IOLs that provide limited visual accommodation. Multifocal IOLs can also be trifocal IOLs or extended depth of ...

  3. Multifocal intraocular lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifocal_intraocular_lens

    The function of multifocal IOL depends on the pupil size for refractive types. The concept is based on the principle that the pupil tends to constrict for near tasks, so the central portion of the lens is designed for near and the outer portion for distance.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Eye surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_surgery

    A dacryocystorhinostomy or dacryocystorhinotomy is a procedure to restore the flow of tears into the nose from the lacrimal sac when the nasolacrimal duct does not function. [ 33 ] [ 35 ] Canaliculodacryocystostomy is a surgical correction for a congenitally blocked tear duct in which the closed segment is excised and the open end is joined to ...

  7. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability...

    The Dirac comb of period 2 π, although not strictly a function, is a limiting form of many directional distributions. It is essentially a wrapped Dirac delta function. It represents a discrete probability distribution concentrated at 2 π n — a degenerate distribution — but the notation treats it as if it were a continuous distribution.

  8. Cataract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataract

    Cataracts can arise as an effect of exposure to various types of radiation. X-rays, one form of ionizing radiation , may damage the DNA of lens cells. [ 24 ] Ultraviolet light, specifically UVB , has also been shown to cause cataracts, and some evidence indicates sunglasses worn at an early age can slow its development in later life. [ 25 ]

    Class A or 4-star building: Rents in the top 30-40% of the local market; well-located; above-average upkeep and management; usually older than a trophy/5-star building; Class B or 3-star building: Rents between Class A and Class C; fair-to-good locations; average upkeep and management
