Long-term contact lens use can lead to alterations in corneal thickness, stromal thickness, curvature, corneal sensitivity, cell density, and epithelial oxygen uptake, etc. Other changes may include the formation of epithelial vacuoles and microcysts (containing cellular debris) as well as the emergence of polymegethism in the corneal endothelium.
Non-contact thermography, thermographic imaging, or medical thermology is the field of thermography that uses infrared images of the human skin to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. Medical thermology is sometimes referred to as medical infrared imaging or tele-thermology and utilizes thermographic cameras.
Closed-eye hallucinations and closed-eye visualizations ( CEV) are hallucinations that occur when one's eyes are closed or when one is in a darkened room. They should not be confused with phosphenes, perceived light and shapes when pressure is applied to the eye's retina, or some other non-visual external cause stimulates the eye.

This method was developed by Robert Bárány, who won a Nobel prize in 1914 for this discovery.
Computer vision syndrome. Computer vision syndrome ( CVS) is a condition resulting from focusing the eyes on a computer or other display device for protracted, uninterrupted periods of time and the eye's muscles being unable to recover from the constant tension required to maintain focus on a close object.

Excessive tearing that is often made worse by exposure to cold air, wind, or bright lights. Swelling or redness of the eyes. Stare; Lid lag (Von Graefe's sign)
These two images are later used together to create a 3D image. In this way the image can be analysed giving better information about surface characteristics of the retina. [19] Fundus photography in animals: Fundus photography is a useful tool utilised for veterinary research, veterinary ophthalmology, as well as education. [20]
