  2. Visual pathway lesions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_pathway_lesions

    This visual field defect is called as bitemporal hemianopia. Anterior chiasmal syndrome, the lesions that affect the ipsilateral optic nerve fibres and the contralateral inferonasal fibres located in the Willebrand knee produce junctional scotoma, i.e., a combination of central scotoma in one eye and temporal hemianopia defect in the other eye.

  3. 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.

  4. Humphrey visual field analyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humphrey_Visual_Field_Analyser

    The results of the analyser identify the type of vision defect. Therefore, it provides information regarding the location of any disease processes or lesion(s) throughout the visual pathway . This guides and contributes to the diagnosis of the condition affecting the patient's vision.

  5. Blind spot (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_spot_(vision)

    Distribution of rods and cones along a line passing through the fovea and the blind spot of a human eye [1]. A blind spot, scotoma, is an obscuration of the visual field.A particular blind spot known as the physiological blind spot, "blind point", or punctum caecum in medical literature, is the place in the visual field that corresponds to the lack of light-detecting photoreceptor cells on the ...

  6. Visual field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_field

    Lesions in the pathway cause a variety of visual field defects. The type of field defect can help localize where the lesion is located (see figure). A lesion in the optic nerve of one eye causes partial or complete loss of vision in the same eye, with an intact field of vision in other eye.

  7. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

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

    In the analysis of this form of astigmatism that occurs only in off-axis object point imaging, it is most common to consider rays from a given point on the object, which propagate in two particular planes. The first plane is the tangential plane. This is the plane including both the object point under consideration and the axis of symmetry ...

    But colobomas in the retina can cause vision loss, as well as low vision (which is when vision loss can’t be corrected with glasses or contacts), nearsightedness, involuntary back and forth eye ...

  9. Human eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    Having two eyes allows the brain to determine the depth and distance of an object, called stereovision, and gives the sense of three-dimensionality to the vision. Both eyes must point accurately enough that the object of regard falls on corresponding points of the two retinas to stimulate stereovision; otherwise, double vision might occur.
