eye. Visual functions are reduced due to age-related changes of the nervous system and in the eye support structures. Three layers form the wall of the eye: sclera, choroid, and retina. The sclera, a thick, white, outermost layer that includes the cornea is at the central anterior region allowing light to enter the eye. The choroid prevents light from scattering inside the eye that also includes the iris and its round opening, the pupil, that light passes through. The retina…

Dry eyes is a common condition that occurs when your tears are not able to provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. Tears can be inadequate for many reasons. For example, dry eyes may occur if you do not produce enough tears or if you produce poor-quality tears. Dry eyes feel uncomfortable. If you have dry eyes, your eyes may sting or burn. You may experience dry eyes in certain situations, such as on an airplane, in an air-conditioned room, while riding a bike or after looking at a computer…

artificial lens implant called IOL or intraocular lens. A patient may be concerned about the risk of the surgery. Cataract surgery, the risks may be infection, bleeding inside the eye, increased pressure inside the eye (glaucoma), swelling of the retina/cornea, retinal detachment and possible loss of partial or complete vision. Another thing the…

In the world, humans have made headway in countless areas. When it comes to science, there is no doubt that our evolution has been firmly established, but In doing so it seems that our standards of behavior and values have failed to progress as well. The knowledge that we posses in the scientific world is remarkable, but with it comes responsibility to use it wisely and ethically. Everyday we torment and kill animals that we consider to be lesser beings, simply at our disposal. From simple…

The two different types There are two types of eyes in the world of today. There are what one calls compound eyes and there are vertebrate eyes. Compound eyes also known as Arthropod eyes, can be traced back to an arthropod called trilobite. These ancestors didn 't have complex lenses like those of today but instead, their eyes and lenses were made of the same rock that made their skin - calcite. Compound eyes today contain many ommatidia (singular: ommatidium) which consist of a corneal lens,…

available in three skirt curve options: flat, medium, and steep. All of the diagnostic lenses had a sphere power of 3.00D. The ultimate objective a lens fitting is to achieve a lens to cornea relationship that is very similar to that of a rigid gas permeable (RGP) alignment fit, while avoiding any contact between the cornea and the RGP portion of the lens. The lens’ base curve fits approximately 0.20 mm (0.75 to 1.75 D) steeper than Flat K and is selected independently of the skirt curve. The…

Refugee Crisis. Millions of Syrians are fleeing their country from internal conflict. This issue is strikingly similar to when Jews were fleeing Germany. Andrei Cornea, an author, explains that just as there is opposition to letting Syrian refugees into countries, there was also extreme opposition to letting Jews into them as well. (Cornea, 2015) “What’s your attitude towards allowing German, Austrian & other political refugees to come into the U.S.?” Fortune asked its survey audience. Over…

also have to make the patient take a visual field test (Test Name-Perimetry)and they would also have to check out the inner eye pressure(Test Name-Tonometry). If the doctor notices that the cornea is out of place with the iris then that would be another way to diagnosis it(Test Name-Gonioscopy) or if the cornea is thicker than usual(Test Name-Pachymetry). The reason doctors do all these test is because they cannot just determine you have glaucoma with one test so they do different kinds of…
