Optic

What do we mean by optic?

Of or relating to the eye or vision. adjective

Of or relating to the science of optics or optical equipment. adjective

An eye. noun

Any of the lenses, prisms, or mirrors of an optical instrument. noun

Relating or pertaining to vision or sight; visual; subservient to the faculty or function of seeing.

Of or pertaining to the eye as the organ of vision; ocular; ophthalmic.

Relating to the science of optics.

The angle which the visual axes of the eyes make with one another as they tend to meet at some distance before the eyes.

The angle between the optic axes in a biaxial crystal.

The line in a doubly refracting crystal in the direction of which no double refraction occurs. Crystals belonging to the tetragonal and hexagonal systems have a single optic axis, coincident with their vertical crystallographical axis: hence they are said to be uniaxial. Crystals belonging to the orthorhombic, monoclinic, and triclinic systems have two optic axes, and hence are biaxial.

Synonyms Optic, Optical. The former is chiefly said of the anatomy of the eye and of the physiology of vision, the latter chiefly of the science of optics: as, optic nerve, tract, lobe; optical angle, center, effect.

The eye. noun

An eye-glass; a magnifying glass. noun

The organ of sight; an eye. noun

An eyeglass. noun

Of, pertaining to, or using vision or sight. adjective

Of or pertaining to the eye; ocular. See Illust. of Brain, and Eye. adjective

Relating to the science of optics or to devices designed to assist vision. adjective

The angle included between the optic axes of the two eyes when directed to the same point; -- sometimes called binocular parallax. adjective

The line in a doubly refracting crystal, in the direction of which no double refraction occurs. A uniaxial crystal has one such line, a biaxial crystal has two. adjective

An eye.

A lens or other part of an optical instrument that interacts with light.

A measuring device with a small window, attached to an upside-down bottle, used to dispense alcoholic drinks in a bar.
