minuscule living organisms that cannot be seen to the naked eye. However due to the physical laws restricting light to pass through conventional lens to see these small items, we had begun to be dependent on microscopes for scientific discoveries, until now.

The Draize test, devised in 1944 is a widely used test that predicts human ocular irritancy by using laboratory animals, primarily albino rabbits. A substance is applied directly into the albino rabbit’s eye or to the surrounding skin to identify its likely effect on the corresponding human tissues based on direct visualization (Mitjans, Infante & Vinardell, 2008). Due to advances in ocular technology, the precision, validity, need and relevance of the Draize test is being challenged…

Glasses have changed over the years and they help us see the world clearly. I believe knowing how the eye works, the different types of corrective lenses, and discovering the types of distorted vision, helps us to be able to obtain better vision. First, during the 1400s glasses were created (Klein). Around 1500 Johannes…
