| vision, subnormal | Vision considered to be inferior to normal vision as represented by accepted standards of acuity, field of vision, or motility. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| central vision | Vision stimulated by an object imaged on the fovea centralis. Synonym: direct vision. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peripheral vision | Vision resulting from retinal stimulation beyond the macula. Synonym: indirect vision. (05 Mar 2000) |
| green vision | A condition in which objects appear to be coloured green, as may occur in digitalis intoxication. Synonym: green vision. Origin: chloro-+ G. Opsis, eyesight (05 Mar 2000) |
| rod vision | Vision when the eye is dark-adapted. See: dark adaptation, dark-adapted eye. Synonym: night vision, rod vision, scotopia, twilight vision. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromatic vision | A condition in which objects appear to be abnormally coloured or tinged with colour; designated according to the colour seen: xanthopsia, yellow vision; erythropsia, red vision; chloropsia, green vision; cyanopsia, blue vision. Synonym: chromatic vision, coloured vision, tinted vision. Compare: dyschromatopsia. Origin: chromato-+ G. Opsis, vision (05 Mar 2000) |
| photopic vision | Vision when the eye is light-adapted. See: light adaptation, light-adapted eye. Synonym: cone vision, photopia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coloured vision | A condition in which objects appear to be abnormally coloured or tinged with colour; designated according to the colour seen: xanthopsia, yellow vision; erythropsia, red vision; chloropsia, green vision; cyanopsia, blue vision. Synonym: chromatic vision, coloured vision, tinted vision. Compare: dyschromatopsia. Origin: chromato-+ G. Opsis, vision (05 Mar 2000) |
| colour vision defects | Mild to severe impairment in the ability to discriminate or differentiate hues. This disorder may be acquired as a result of diseases of the cones or x chromosome-linked where there is an abnormality but not a complete absence of one of the cone pigments. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cone vision | Vision when the eye is light-adapted. See: light adaptation, light-adapted eye. Synonym: cone vision, photopia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multiple vision | polyopia |
| halo vision | A condition in which coloured or luminous rings are seen around lights. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haploscopic vision | Stereoscopic vision produced by the haploscope, or mirror-type stereoscope. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Helmholtz theory of colour vision | A theory that there are three colour-perceiving elements in the retina: red, green, and blue. Perception of other colours arises from the combined stimulation of these elements; deficiency or absence of any one of these elements results in inability to perceive that colour and a misperception of any other colour of which it forms a part. Synonym: Helmholtz theory of colour vision. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Hering's theory of colour vision | That there are three opponent visual processes: blue-yellow, red-green, and white-black. (05 Mar 2000) |
