The 14 pages that link to Eyeglasses, each with the reason it gives.

• Contact lensCompared with: Unlike contact lenses, eyeglasses remain separated from the eye and do not move with it.

• Refractive errorRelated: They are the most familiar way to compensate for refractive error.

• Crystalline lensCompared with: Eyeglasses provide external optical correction rather than changing shape inside the eye.

• HyperopiaRelated: Plus-powered eyeglass lenses are a common way to correct hyperopic distance and near blur.

• MyopiaRelated: Concave spectacle lenses diverge incoming light so distant images focus farther back on the retina.

• LensRelated: Their prescriptions use lens power to compensate for focusing errors in the eye.

• AstigmatismRelated: Cylindrical or toric spectacle lenses correct astigmatic power.

• SunglassesNarrower topic: Sunglasses are a type of eyeglasses distinguished by their light-reducing lenses.

• Convex lensRelated: Convex spectacle lenses correct hyperopia and presbyopia by adding converging power.

• OptometryRelated: Optometrists prescribe spectacle lenses to compensate for refractive errors.

• BifocalsNarrower topic: Bifocals are a specialized form of eyeglasses.

• Thin lensRelated: Their corrective power is commonly specified using the thin-lens approximation.

• Bates methodCompared with: Unlike Bates exercises, prescription lenses reliably compensate for refractive errors while worn.

• Iris ApfelRelated: Her oversized frames became a signature accessory and an instantly recognizable part of her image.
