Often occurs without any apparent disease of the eye.  \nAmetropia-An optical error of the eye in which the image of an object does not focus on theretina, when the visual system is at rest. (See refractive error)  \nAmsler Grid – A diagram with horizontal and vertical lines used to detect macular distortion. Anesthetic – A drug that induces an insensitivity to pain.  \nAniseikonia-The images of an object, which appear on each retina, are unequal in size or shape and cannot be fused into one image  \nAnisometropia – A difference in refractive error between the two eyes.  \nAnterior Chamber-The aqueous-filled space in the forward portion of the eye, bounded in front by the cornea and behind by the iris.  \nAnterior Chamber Angle – The junction between the cornea and the iris where aqueous filters out of the eye.  \nAnterior Segment – referring to the front part of the eye (i.e. the lens forward) .  \nAntihistamine – Drug used in the treatment of allergies.  \nAntireflective Coating (ARC)– Reduces light reflections and increases the transmission of light through a lens.  \nAphakia-Absence of the crystalline lens of the eye.  \nApplanation Tonometry – A method for determining intraocular pressure (IOP) by measuring the force required to flatten an area of the cornea.  \nAqueous Humor (Aqueous) -Clear, watery fluid which fills the anterior chamber of the eye.  \nAspheric Lens-A non-spherical lens, in which the radii of curvature increase towards the periphery rather than remaining equal at all points. Aspheric lenses reduce optical aberration and improve resolution.  \nAsthenopia-Ocular fatigue caused by tiring of the muscle in and around the eye.  \nAstigmatism-A refractive error in which light rays fail to come to a single focus on the retina because of differing amounts of refraction in the various meridians of the eye.  \nAtoric Lens – Ophthalmic lens with aspheric curves on the back surface.  \nAuto-refractor – A computerized machine that estimates the eye’s objective refractive power. Axial length – Length of the eyeball.  \nBandage Contact Lens – Soft contact lenses used to protect the cornea.  \nBase Curve – the curvature of the central portion of the posterior surface of a lens.  \nBicentric Grind-The grinding of the lower part of a spectacle lens to help compensate for a lens-induced vertical prism power that occurs with unequal power lenses.  \nBifocal -A lens with two optical zones, one for near vision and one for distance vision.  \nBilateral -Both eyes.  \nBinocular Vision-The ability to use both eyes simultaneously to focus on the same object and to fuse the images from both eyes into a single image.  \nBiomicroscope-A corneal microscope for examination of the front portions of the eye, which provides a narrow beam of strong light.  \nBlepharitis- Inflammation of the lid margins; also known as dandruff of the eyelids.  \nBlepharoplasty-Any plastic surgery performed on the e","cbCaiovQf8bqcnhX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiovQf8bqcnhX","pdf",218001,18,"English","# Glossary Entries\n## A - C\n## D - Z","[{\"question\":\"What does “Accommodation” mean in ophthalmology?\",\"answer\":\"It refers to the eye’s adjustment to focus clearly on near targets by changing the shape of the crystalline lens through the ciliary muscle.\"},{\"question\":\"What is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD/ARMD)?\",\"answer\":\"It is age-related deterioration of the macula that affects central vision.\"},{\"question\":\"How is intraocular pressure (IOP) assessed using applanation tonometry?\",\"answer\":\"It determines IOP by measuring the force required to flatten a corneal area.\"}]","Glossary of Common Ophthalmic Terminology | PDF",1790641839,45]
