important neurosensory tissue that lines at the two third posterior wall of the eye internally. It maintains equilibrium of visual components with the help of other structural and cellular structures including the central retina (macula) and centermost macula (fovea). The physiological, as well as anatomical procedures inside the attachment, are prevailed out it results in retinal separation (Gariano and Kim, 2004). The National Eye Institute has categorized retinal detachment disease in three…
She still felt distant from her surroundings. Her head hurt. Her throat felt dry and grainy and raw like she hadn't drank anything in days. She doubted she'd be able to speak. The lights in the room were way to bright. When Annabeth tried to open her eyes, she felt like she was staring directly into the sun. She shut them tight again and then slowly eased them open, blinking a lot to get used to the…
Karissa Walter 12/13/15 Anatomy & Physiology I Professor Jenkins Sensory Impairment in Older Adults: Part 2: Vision Loss As adults age there is a persistent declination in age related eye degeneration. Many times this occurs naturally with age, but can also be a result of medical conditions found in older patients. A portion of these medical conditions include macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. These visual impairments can lead to a need for…

path of light through the eye. Refractive error is an optical abnormality in which the shape of the eye fails to bring light into sharp focus on the retina, resulting in blurred or distorted vision. Examples of refractive error are myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. In optometry, a "refraction" procedure is the measurement of refractive error by an eye care professional, usually for the purpose of correcting the error with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. A refraction procedure…
“Bionic Eye” can be dated back to 1755. Before the many vaccines and treatments we have today, when highly spreading epidemics would occur, patients would become blind due to high fever. “French scientist Charles Leroy discharged the static electricity from a Leyden jar, into a blind patient’s body using two wires.
