  2. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    It measures visual acuity loss: positive values indicate vision loss, while negative values denote normal or better visual acuity. This scale is commonly used clinically and in research because the lines are of equal length and so it forms a continuous scale with equally spaced intervals between points, unlike Snellen charts, which have ...

  3. Focal length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_length

    Effective focal length (EFL) The effective focal length is the inverse of the optical power of an optical system, and is the value used to calculate the magnification of the system. [1] The imaging properties of the optical system can be modeled by replacing the system with an ideal thin lens with the same EFL. [2]

    For example, P <2% means that less than 2% of the population have vision loss worse than measured [19] Pattern standard deviation (PSD): Derived from the pattern deviation and thus highlights focal loss only. A high PSD, indicating irregular vision, is therefore a more useful indicator of glaucomatous progression, than the MD [3]

    The eye will be checked to ensure the IOL remains in place, and once it has fully stabilised, after about six weeks, vision tests will be used to check whether prescription lenses are needed. [35] [8] Where the focal length of the IOL is optimised for distance vision, reading glasses will generally be needed for near focus.

  6. Eye examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_examination

    An eye examination, commonly known as an eye test, [1] is a series of tests performed to assess vision and ability to focus on and discern objects. [2] It also includes other tests and examinations of the eyes. [2] Eye examinations are primarily performed by an optometrist, ophthalmologist, or an orthoptist.

  7. Optical resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_resolution

    The original application called for placing the chart at a distance 26 times the focal length of the imaging lens used. The bars above and to the left are in sequence, separated by approximately the square root of two (12, 17, 24, etc.), while the bars below and to the left have the same separation but a different starting point (14, 20, 28, etc.)

  8. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    How focal length affects perspective: Varying focal lengths at identical field size achieved by different camera-subject distances. Notice that the shorter the focal length and the larger the angle of view, perspective distortion and size differences increase. Lenses are often referred to by terms that express their angle of view:

  9. Least distance of distinct vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_distance_of_distinct...

    The focal point F and focal length f of a positive (convex) lens, a negative (concave) lens, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror.. In optometry, the least distance of distinct vision (LDDV) or the reference seeing distance (RSD) is the closest someone with "normal" vision (20/20 vision) can comfortably look at something. [1]
