  2. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

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

    This plane often represents the best compromise image location in a system with astigmatism. The amount of aberration due to astigmatism is proportional to the square of the angle between the rays from the object and the optical axis of the system. With care, an optical system can be designed to reduce or eliminate astigmatism.

  3. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    When refractive errors in children are not treated, the child may be at risk of developing ambylopia, where vision may remain permanently blurry. [33] Because young children typically do not complain of blurry vision, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children have yearly vision screening starting at three years old so that unknown refractive errors or other ophthalmic ...

  4. Effects of long-term contact lens wear on the cornea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_long-term...

    Corneal surface irregularity and asymmetry are also caused by long-term contact lens wear; these problems are sometimes correlated with astigmatism in contact lens wearers and are thought to be caused by hypoxia, surface molding, and chronic and mild trauma to the cornea from contact lens use. [1]

  5. Disorder of written expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorder_of_written_expression

    Poor writing skills must interfere significantly with academic progress or daily activities that involves written expression [1] (spelling, grammar, handwriting, punctuation, word usage, etc.). [2] This disorder is also generally concurrent with disorders of reading and/or mathematics, as well as disorders related to behavior.

  6. Visual snow syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_snow_syndrome

    Visual snow is a phenomenon where a person perceives visual disturbances, such as fine graininess or "static," in their field of vision. This can occur in low-light conditions, in the dark, or when the visual system amplifies light perception.

  7. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    Besides, there is strong evidence of compensation for aberrations between the cornea and intraocular optics in cases of astigmatism (horizontal/vertical) and horizontal coma. The balance of corneal and internal aberrations is a typical example of creating two coupling optical systems. [5]

  8. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    The index can improve the lens thinness, but at a point, no more improvement will be realized. For example, if an index and lens size is selected with center to edge thickness difference of 1 mm then changing index can only improve thickness by a fraction of this. This is also true with aspheric design lenses.

  9. Three-mirror anastigmat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-mirror_anastigmat

    This allows a larger useful field of view, and the remaining astigmatism is symmetrical around the distorted objects, allowing astrometry across the wide field of view. However, the astigmatism can be reduced by including a third curved optical element. When this element is a mirror, the result is a three-mirror anastigmat.
