| absolute hyperopia | Manifest hyperopia that cannot be overcome by an effort of accommodation. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| axial hyperopia | Hyperopia due to shortening of the anteroposterior diameter of the globe of the eye. (05 Mar 2000) |
| manifest hyperopia | Hyperopia that can be compensated by accommodation. Synonym: facultative hyperopia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hyperopia | Farsightedness or hyperopia occurs when a refractive error in which light rays entering the eye are focused behind the retina. This condition is easily corrected with corrective lenses or contact lenses. (27 Sep 1997) |
| total hyperopia | That which can be determined after complete paralysis of accommodation by means of a cycloplegic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facultative hyperopia | Hyperopia that can be compensated by accommodation. Synonym: facultative hyperopia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| latent hyperopia | The difference between total and manifest hyperopia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angular curvature | A gibbous deformity, i.e., a sharp angulation of the spine, occurring in Pott's disease. Synonym: Pott's curvature. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior curvature | Curvature in which a more distal or cephalad part is deviated anteriorly with respect to the coronal anatomic plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| backward curvature | Curvature in which a more distal or cephalad part is deviated posteriorly with respect to the coronal anatomic plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gingival curvature | The rounding of the gum along its line of attachment to the neck of a tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greater curvature of stomach | The border of the stomach to which the greater omentum is attached. Synonym: curvatura ventriculi major. (05 Mar 2000) |
| curvature | A bending or flexure. See: angulation. Synonym: curvatura. Origin: L. Curvatura, fr. Curvo, pp. -atus, to bend, curve (05 Mar 2000) |
