How To Use refractive In A Sentence
- Eyes that are not optimized in this way are said to have refractive errors (long sight or short sight).
- The athletes were tested for visual acuity, refractive error, oculomotor skills, stereopsis, color vision, contrast sensitivity, eye-hand coordination, eye-foot coordination, and overall ocular health.
- The photorefractive creates an index grating that couples light from one beam to another effectively compensating for any less than stellar phase-front negating any need for complicated optical alignment, spatial filtering, and columniation.
- People suffering from refractive errors have to wear corrective lenses if they want to see things clearly.
- A fundamental property called the refractive index governs the amount of light a material reflects, as well as other optical properties such as diffraction, refraction, and the speed of light inside the material. The World’s Blackest Material | Impact Lab
- Through optical spectroscopy, researchers can probe the trapped particle's size, shape, refractive index and chemical composition.
- Chiron Vision develops and manufactures products for treating progressive eye diseases and for improving cataract and refractive surgery.
- [10] Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) was the first kind of corrective eye surgery to involve a laser. CreationWiki - Recent changes [en]
- If you are happy wearing contact lenses or glasses, you may not want to have refractive surgery.
- He calculated that a material that had a negative permittivity and a negative permeability would also have a negative refractive index.
