1. Medicine Determination of the refractive characteristics of the eye.

2. Medicine The ability of the eye to bend light so that an image is focused on the retina.

3. The turning or bending of any wave, such as a light or sound wave, when it passes from one medium into another of different optical density.

4. Deflection from a straight path undergone by a light ray or energy wave in passing obliquely from one medium (as air) into another (as glass) in which its velocity is different.
