  2. Hirschberg test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirschberg_test

    In exotropia the light lands on the medial aspect of the cornea. In esotropia the light lands on the lateral aspect of the cornea. In hypertropia the light lands on the inferior aspect of the cornea. In hypotropia the light lands on the superior aspect of the cornea. A cover test can tell you the extent of the eso/exo-tropia.

  3. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    Presbyopia, like other focal imperfections, becomes less noticeable in bright sunlight when the pupil becomes smaller. [8] As with any lens, increasing the focal ratio of the lens increases depth of field by reducing the level of blur of out-of-focus objects (compare the effect of aperture on depth of field in photography ).

  4. 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).

  5. Accommodation reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_reflex

    Light from a single point of a distant object and light from a single point of a near object being brought to a focus. The accommodation reflex (or accommodation-convergence reflex) is a reflex action of the eye, in response to focusing on a near object, then looking at a distant object (and vice versa), comprising coordinated changes in vergence, lens shape (accommodation) and pupil size.

  6. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    In this brief vision test specialized cameras detect each eye's light reflexes, which the equipment's software or a test administrator then interprets. If photoscreening indicates the presence of risk factors, an ophthalmologist can then diagnose the condition after a complete eye exam, including dilating the pupils and measuring the focusing ...

  7. Eye examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_examination

    This test detects the afferent pupil defect, also referred to as the Marcus Gunn pupil. It is conducted in a semidarkened room. In a normal reaction to the swinging-flashlight test, both pupils constrict when one is exposed to light. As the light is being moved from one eye to another, both eyes begin to dilate, but constrict again when light ...

  8. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    Lenses sold in the US must pass the Food and Drug Administration ball-drop impact test, and depending on needed index these seem to currently have "best in class" Abbe vs Index ( N d): Glass (2× weight of plastics) or CR-39 (2 mm vs. 1.5 mm thickness typical on newer materials) 58 @ 1.5, Sola Spectralite (47 @ 1.53), Sola Finalite (43 @ 1.6 ...

  9. 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.
