| filar micrometre ocular | <microscopy> A micrometre ocular with crossed lines which can be simultaneously focused in and moved across the field by means of a micrometre screw. The amount of displacement can be read in 0.01 steps on the micrometre drum head. This makes a very delicate measuring device, since calibration of the micrometre scale by means of a stage micrometre gives values for each interval on the drum head which are much less than the resolving power of the highest-aperture objectives.

| fixational ocular movement | Rotation of the eyes during voluntary fixation on an object; tremors, flicks, and drifts occur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Frenkel's anterior ocular traumatic syndrome | <syndrome> An obsolete term for traumatic iridoplegia, which consists of mydriasis, hyphema, small iris tears near the pupil, discrete punctate opacities of the lens, and occasionally iridodialysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
