  2. Scintillating scotoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintillating_scotoma

    Artist's depiction of a scintillating scotoma, exhibiting a flashing visual pattern similar to dazzle camouflage used during WWI.. Scintillating scotoma is a common visual aura that was first described by 19th-century physician Hubert Airy (1838–1903).

  3. Optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_neuropathy

    Consumption can be fatal, or recovery can occur with permanent neurologic and ophthalmologic deficits. While the visual loss is not very common, increased intracranial pressure can cause bilateral optic disc swelling from cerebral edema. A clue to the cause of intoxication is the presence of oxalate crystals in the urine.

  4. Photographic processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_processing

    The colour developer develops the silver negative image by reducing the silver halide crystals that have been exposed to light to metallic silver, this consists of the developer donating electrons to the silver halide, turning it into metallic silver; the donation oxidizes the developer which then activates the dye couplers to form the colour ...

  5. Cyanopsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanopsia

    The primary causes include post-cataract surgery, certain medications, and, less commonly, neurological or ophthalmological conditions. Post-cataract surgery is a common cause, as replacing the natural lens with a synthetic one increases exposure to blue light, leading to temporary blue-tinted vision. This effect usually resolves as the eye adapts.

  6. Computer vision syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_vision_syndrome

    Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a condition resulting from focusing the eyes on a computer or other display device for protracted, uninterrupted periods of time and the eye's muscles being unable to recover from the constant tension required to maintain focus on a close object.

  7. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    Based on Wavefront map of the eye and with the use of laser a lens is shaped to compensate for the aberrations of the eye and then put in the eyeglasses. Ultraviolet Laser can alter the refractive index of curtain lens materials such as epoxy polymer on a point by point basis in order to generate the desired refractive profile.

  8. White dot syndromes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_dot_syndromes

    Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy primarily occurs in adults (with a mean age of 27). [1] Symptoms include blurred vision in both eyes, but the onset may occur at a different time in each eye. There are yellow-white placoid lesions in the posterior pole at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium. Some suggest a ...

  9. Crystallin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallin

    [2] [3] The physical origins of eye lens transparency and its relationship to cataract are an active area of research. [4] Since it has been shown that lens injury may promote nerve regeneration, [5] crystallin has been an area of neural research. So far, it has been demonstrated that crystallin β b2 (crybb2) may be a neurite-promoting factor. [6]
