2. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

   Astigmatism causes difficulties in seeing fine detail. Astigmatism can be often corrected by glasses with a lens that has different radii of curvature in different planes (a cylindrical lens), contact lenses, or refractive surgery. [5] Astigmatism is quite common. Studies have shown that about one in three people suffers from it.

3. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

   Effects of astigmatism. As the eye shifts its gaze from looking through the optical center of the corrective lens, the lens-induced astigmatism value increases. In a spherical lens, especially one with a strong correction whose base curve is not in the best spherical form, such increases can significantly impact the clarity of vision in the ...

4. Refractive surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_surgery

   Phakic intraocular lens implantation inside the eye can also be used to change refractive errors. The newest type of intervention is a type of PIOL called the implantable collamer lens which uses a biocompatible flexible lens which can be inserted in the eye via a 3 mm incision. The ICL is used to correct myopia ranging from −0.5 to −18 ...

5. Limbal relaxing incisions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbal_relaxing_incisions

   Limbal relaxing incisions (LRI) are a refractive surgical procedure to correct minor astigmatism in the eye. Incisions part way through the cornea are made at one side or at opposite edges of the cornea, following the curve of the iris, causing a slight flattening of the cornea in that area. [1]

6. Refractive error - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

   A distant object is defined as an object located beyond 6 meters (20 feet) from the eye. [citation needed] When an object is located close to the eye, the rays of light from this object no longer approach the eye parallel to each other. Consequently, the eye must increase its refractive power to bring those rays of light together on the retina.
