Precession Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body. In an appropriate reference frame it can be defined as a change in the first Euler angle, whereas the third Euler angle defines the rotation itself.

Monovision Are Contact Lens for Presbyopia Answer: Monovision is the name given to the art and science of fitting contact lenses on a patient who has developed presbyopia. Presbyopia is the unavoidable change in vision that usually occurs at around 40 years of age, causing difficulty in reading small print and focusing on near objects.

- Aneisokonia is a condition where an excessive difference in prescription between the eyes causes a significant difference in magnification of images seen between the eyes. When this magnification difference becomes excessive the effect can cause disorientation, eyestrain, headache, and dizziness and balance disorders.Treatment is with contact lenses, or special magnification size matched lenses called isokonic lenses. Normally the eyes work in perfect synchrony.here are a variety of visual dysfunctions that can cause, or associate with dizziness and balance problems. Sometimes these are purely visual problems, and sometimes they are caused from other disorders such as stroke, head injury, vestibular dysfunction, deconditioning, and decompensation.

- Presbyesophagus is a term used to describe an abnormal shape of the swallowing tube (esophagus) that occurs in some individuals. In this situation, the esophagus appears wavier than a typically straight esophagus.This change may impact esophageal movement (motility).The term presbyesophagus (presby is Latin for old) was originally used to describe a change in esophagus movement related to aging even though there has been limited evidence that aging by itself causes trouble swallowing.ow is presbyesophagus diagnosed? Your doctor will likely perform a physical examination and use a variety of tests to determine the cause of your swallowing problem. These tests could include a barium swallow x-ray, an upper endoscopy (EGD), or an esophageal motility test (manometry).

Presbyopia Defined What is presbyopia? Presbyopia is a common type of vision disorder that occurs as you age. It is often referred to as the aging eye condition. Presbyopia results in the inability to focus up close, a problem associated with refraction in the eye. How does presbyopia occur? Presbyopia happens naturally in people as they age. The eye is not able to focus light directly on to the retina due to the hardening of the natural lens. Aging also affects muscle fibers around the lens making it harder for the eye to focus on up close objects.

- Eyeglasses with bifocal or progressive addition lenses (PALs) are the most common correction for presbyopia. Bifocal means two points of focus: the main part of the spectacle lens contains a prescription for distance vision, while the lower portion of the lens holds the stronger near prescription for close work.

Presbycusis: Definition, Symptoms & Treatment It is estimated that about one-third of people between the ages of 65 and 75 have some kind of hearing loss, and that number rises up to almost half of people over the age of 75 (meaning, it's okay grandpa, you're not alone!). Presbycusis is a gradual loss that slowly happens over time, often creeping up on people.

Tonometry Corneal Hysteresis: A superior test for the evaluation of glaucoma risk, and is more associated with visual field progression than CCT or IOP. Corneal Hysteresis (CH) is an assessment of the cornea’s ability to absorb and dissipate energy. This is very different from thickness or topography, which are geometrical attributes of the cornea. Corneal Hysteresis is independently predictive of visual field progression in glaucoma.

Presbycusis Presbycusis is age related loss of hearing that occurs in most people as they grow old. It is quite common to develop loss of hearing as one gets older. Around 50-60% of people of age group 75-85 develop hearing loss. Usually they have difficulty in hearing high pitched sounds.

Definitions Convergence Insufficiency or Excess. When an object is getting closer to you, your eyes have to converge to see it. Converge means to move the eyes in towards each other. Double vision is a common side effect of poor convergence ability. Convergence is the ability for the eyes to turn inward towards each other.

- Nearsightedness, or myopia, as it is medically termed, is a vision condition in which close objects are seen clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred. Nearsightedness occurs if the eyeball is too long or the cornea, the clear front cover of the eye, has too much curvature. As a result, the light entering the eye isn’t focused correctly and distant objects look blurred. Nearsightedness is a very common vision condition affecting nearly 30 percent of the U.S. population. Some research supports the theory that nearsightedness is hereditary.

Cornea For other uses, see Cornea (disambiguation) . The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. The cornea, with the anterior chamber and lens, refracts light, with the cornea accounting for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power. In humans, the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 dioptres. While the cornea contributes most of the eye's focusing power, its focus is fixed. The curvature of the lens, on the other hand, can be adjusted to tune the focus depending upon the object's distance. Medical terms related to the cornea often start with the prefix  kerat-  from the Greek word κέρας, horn.

Surgery For Presbyopia In a monovision technique called NearVision CK (Refractec), conductive keratoplasty is performed on one eye only  usually the non-dominant eye  to correct presbyopia in a person who can see well in the distance without glasses or contact lenses, but who needs help with near vision.

Eyes - common problems Presbyopia is a common condition that makes vision difficult at a normal reading distance. For instance, you may find that you are holding your newspaper further away from your eyes to make the print clearer, or that periods of close work give you sore eyes, headaches or tiredness.

Laser Eye Surgery at Optimax Presbyopia (the need for reading glasses) is a condition brought on by the natural loss of flexibility of the lens and muscles in the eye. Laser eye surgery corrects only the outer surface of the eye, so the lens is still prone to natural degradation and reading glasses may still be needed.
