Refraction

Nystagmus refers to involuntary eye movements which are usually in the horizontal axis but can also be vertical or torsional. 1 According to the speed of the fast and slow phases, nystagmus is classified as pendular or jerky and based on the time of onset, into congenital (or infantile) and acquired types. 1-4 Infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) may be further classified into sensory and motor types. In patients with sensory type, there is a recognizable structural abnormality leading to…

Perhaps one of the most influential books in western philosophy, Meditations on First Philosophy, written by René Descartes, was first published in 1641. Descartes was a French rationalist, born in the 17th century. He is famously known by his contributions to the field of epistemology, mainly through his book. In Meditations, Descartes decides to put into question all of his previous knowledge, in order to determine what is false and dubious, and what is undoubtedly true. The book is divided…

this meant that few scientists of the era actually considered his proposal. Newton’s theory was based off of Pierre Gassendi and Thomas Hobbes corpuscular theory of light. Newton stated that the concept of diffraction was simply a new kind of refraction and that the wave theory of light…

MARKETING HEALTH CARE SERVICES According to Berkowitz (2010), marketing of services is more challenging because of their unique elements, given that they are not tangible. Services differ from products on five components, which is referred to as the five I’s. The five I’s of services that any health care marketer should recognize are inconsistency, inseparability, intangibility, interaction with consumers, and inventory (Berkowitz, 2010). INCONSISTENCY Multiple people such as physicians,…

Intro: (2nd to last) Rainbows are defined as; “a bow or arc of prismatic colors appearing in the heavens opposite the sun and caused by the refraction and reflection of the sun's rays in drops of rain.” Background: 2 long - 4 med paragraphs http://www.rebeccapaton.net/rainbows/facts.htm Two of the most important people in “discovering” the rainbow and the understanding the science behind and explaining it are Sir Isaac Newton and Aristotle. Sir Isaac Newton was born on January 4th, 1643, in…

(https://www.nasa.gov/kepler/education/johannes (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.). Challenges that Kepler cracked was the overall concept of vision. He created eyeglasses for near and farsighted eyesight with use of studying refraction and magnification, stirring ideas of the telescope. Kepler’s First Law also, from studying circles and patterns, was the first to make it a fact that planets travel in an elliptical path.…

From a leisurely walk to a fast run, both devices tested with satisfaction. Fitbit uses optical heart rate monitoring. Which measures pulse through light refraction. The Consumer Reports study tested the Surge and Charge HR and compared the results to the Polar H7. The Polar H7 is a chest strap monitor with a proven track record for accuracy. In nearly every test, the Fitbit only had a maximum of three beats…

progression of ectasia. Likewise, the best candidate for this therapy is an individual with a progressive ectatic disease of the cornea. The most common indication is stage I and II keratoconus with evidence of progression like change in refraction (including astigmatism), uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, and corneal shape (topography and tomography). Other diseases that can be candidates include Pellucid Marginal Degeneration, Terrien Marginal…

How Does Ocular Dominance Affect the Way We See Things? Eyes are what allow our brains to process information, whether it’s to see color or to give the ability to read. They are organs that even allow us to evaluate our health, and can be used to express emotion. Everyone has them and each one is different, but they share a common purpose, and it’s important to know how they work. Light passes through the cornea of the eye, which has the job of protecting the eye and refracting the light so…
