My drawing of the cracked eye doctor equipment shows how I view the world. Last year, I was in the hospital for a deadly infection that made me go blind in my left eye. I ended up getting a life saving cornea transplant and it got rid of the disease so I could leave the hospital and go back to living my normal life. As well as curing my infection, it also restored some of the sight to my left eye, but I am still legally blind with my glasses on. The broken lense of the eye equipment conveys that no doctor or glasses can fix my eyesight, but the lense is only cracked, so if you were to look through it you would see a distorted image, much like how I see. Also, only the left eye lense is cracked, the other one is perfectly fine, which shows that

Protective eyewear is required to provide safety for a vast array of activities, for some it is a compulsory or a legal requirement for work, while some people use protective eyewear as a choice, for tasks such as gardening and DIY. Protective eyewear can help prevent damage to the eyes caused by possible hazards. In 2013-14, 232 major eye injuries were reported in the UK alone (Hughes, 2015).

In addition to the eye tests, your doctor will also check your field of vision for blind spots since glaucoma often causes loss of peripheral vision. With the results of all these tests, your eye doctor can determine if you have glaucoma and tell how
