  2. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    Total hypermetropia: It is the total amount of hyperopia which is obtained after complete relaxation of accommodation using cycloplegics like atropine. Latent hyperopia : It is the amount of hyperopia normally corrected by ciliary tone (approximately 1 diopter).

  3. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    Presbyopia is a physiological insufficiency of optical accommodation associated with the aging of the eye; it results in progressively worsening ability to focus clearly on close objects. [4] Also known as age-related farsightedness [5] (or as age-related long sight in the UK [6]), it affects many adults over the age of 40. A common sign of ...

  4. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    Myopia can be corrected with a concave lens, which causes the divergence of light rays before they reach the cornea. [citation needed] Hyperopia or Farsightedness: When the refractive power is too weak for the length of the eyeball, one has hyperopia or farsightedness. People with hyperopia have blurry vision when viewing near objects because ...

  5. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    The most common use is to treat refractive errors: myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Glasses or "spectacles" are worn on the face a short distance in front of the eye. Contact lenses are worn directly on the surface of the eye.

  6. Dioptre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioptre

    Convex lenses have positive dioptric value and are generally used to correct hyperopia (farsightedness) or to allow people with presbyopia (the limited accommodation of advancing age) to read at close range. Over the counter reading glasses are rated at +1.00 to +4.00 dioptres.

  7. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    Presbyopia is a visual condition that causes farsightedness. The eye's lens becomes too inflexible to accommodate to normal reading distance, focus tending to remain fixed at long distance. Glaucoma is a type of blindness that begins at the edge of the visual field and progresses inward. It may result in tunnel vision. This typically involves ...

  8. Accommodative excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodative_excess

    Hypermetropia: Young hypermetropes use excessive accommodation as a physiological adaptation in the interest of clear vision. Myopia: Young myopes performing excessive near work may also use excessive accommodation in association with excessive convergence. Astigmatism: Astigmatic eye may also be associated with accommodative excess.

  9. Aspheric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspheric_lens

    In prescriptions for both farsightedness and nearsightedness, the lens curve flattens toward the edge of the glass, [8] except for progressive reading adds for presbyopia, where seamless vari-focal portions change toward a progressively more plus diopter. High minus aspheres for myopes do not necessarily need progressive add portions, because ...
