Visual Acuity - Clear vision with sharp details. Also called central vision.

Visual Field - The complete area that’s visible when the eyes are looking straight ahead.

Vitreous Detachment - (VIT-ree-us) Separation of vitreous humor from the retina. If the gel pulls on the retinal surface, it can sometimes cause it to tear, which could lead to retinal detachment. Vitreous detachment occurs more often in older people and those with certain diseases such as diabetes.

Vitreous Fluid - The jelly-like fluid that fills the main part of the eye, between the lens and the retina. It’s clear so as to give light rays an unobstructed path to the retina, and to keep that clarity, it contains phagocytes, cells which ingest and destroy foreign matter.

Vitreous Humor - The transparent gel that fills the space inside the eye behind the lens and in front of the retina.

: Contact Lens Assisted Pharmacologically Induced Kerato Steepening - A way to undo overcorrection in laser eye surgery (LASIK, PRK and RK). A tightly-fitting contact lens is placed on the eye and anti-inflammatory eyedrops are used. The goal is to make the cornea more steep, after it’s been made too flat.

Contact Lens Disinfectant - A solution for removing bacteria and micro-organisms from contact lenses.
