| angle of depression | <orthopaedics> The angle formed by the meeting of a line drawn through the shaft of the femur with one passing through the long axis of the femoral neck; normally it is about 127 |
| angle of deviation | <optics> In a prism, the sum of the angle's of incidence and emergence minus the apical angle of a prism, in optics, angle of refraction, in strabismus, angle of anomaly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of eccentricity | <ophthalmology> In strabismus, the angle between the line of fixation and the line of normal foveal fixation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of emergence | <optics> The angle formed by a light ray emerging from the second surface of a prism and a line parallel to the incident ray. Compare: angle of deviation. (05 Mar 2000) |

| angle of Fuchs | <ophthalmology> A crevice between the ciliary and pupillary zones of the iris formed by atrophy of superficial layers of the iris in the pupillary zone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of incidence | <optics> The angle that a ray entering a refracting medium makes with a line drawn perpendicular to the surface of this medium, the angle that a ray striking a reflecting surface makes with a line perpendicular to this surface. Synonym: incident angle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| angle of reflection | <optics> The angle that a ray reflected from a surface makes with a line drawn perpendicular to this surface. It is equal to the angle of incidence. (05 Mar 2000) |
