| vision screening | Application of tests and examinations to identify visual defects or vision disorders occurring in specific populations, as in school children, the elderly, etc. It is differentiated from vision tests, which are given to evaluate/measure individual visual performance not related to a specific population. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| 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) |
