Macular Degeneration is a disease of the eye that gradually causes loss of a person’s central vision. Approximately 1.75 million Americans suffer from vision loss associated with the disease (All About Vision 1).

Both the wet and dry versions of the disease have similarities in risk factors, but differ in symptoms and treatments.

The film Rear Window, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, demonstrates the dynamics of love and marriage, displaying positive and negative aspects of relationships.

Pauline Hopkins in Contending Forces made a statement, in which it said “And after all, our surroundings influence our lives and characters as much as fate, destiny or any supernatural agency.” Culturally, many movements have affected the lives of people of all colors, ages, and walks of life; specifically, conformity. As defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, conformity is “behavior that is the same as the behavior of most other people in a society, group, etc.” In Cat’s Eye by Margaret Atwood, the protagonist, Elaine Risley spent her childhood in fear of the disdain that comes with not complying with the social-norm, performing every request asked of her by her so-called comrades, and remains scarred by this experience in her middle age. Elaine’s subservience to her expectations eventually led to her demise, as does outside of the literary world.

As it was stated before cataracts can lead to Glaucoma. Aqueous humor that would normally drain out the eye, through the junction of the cornea and sclera into the blood stream, is being blocked by the free-floating cataract, yet the production of the aqueous humor is still maintained (Smith). Glaucoma is the increased eye pressure that develops from this continuous buildup of aqueous humor within the eye. Untreated, this can cause permanent blindness, and enlargement of the eye. Glaucoma is also common is dog and cats, yet even with advanced medical and surgical treatments, many of them will lose their eye

The growing of cannabis or marijuana was considered to be a way of life in the region of Northern California known as the Emerald Triangle. Marijuana has been considered an illicit drug for over 70 years because they were linked to other crimes that were committed. There was at least two cannabis entrepreneur couples who were very determined to legalize marijuana without fear of being arrested by the FDA (Drug Enforcement Administration). There was one person who was arrested and found guilty by the FDA for possession of marijuana plants with the intent to distribute, even though he was compliant with marijuana laws in his state. His arrest was attempting to send a message to many medical marijuana businesses who were breaking federal laws. This did not prevent the

Eyes: Pupillary light reflex: Pupils are equal, round, reactive to light. Accommodation is present. Eyebrows, eyelids, and lashes are present, symmetric, and eyelids are a proximal completely. Conjunctive is pink, clear, with no swelling or lesions. Sclera is china white. Patient wears glasses and the glasses are in good repair. The last vision test was last spring and the patient gets an eye exam done every two years. The client states her left eye did not fully develop so she has always had bad vision in that one eye.

Age related Macular Degeneration or AMD is a disease that affects millions of Americans every year. There are several factors that contribute to this disease, those being: exposure to bright light, diet, hereditary factors and gender. The main ones that can be controlled consist of exposure to bright light and diet. Those that cannot be controlled are hereditary factors and gender. Prevention of macular degeneration consists of reducing the eyes exposure to bright light and the daily diet of the person at risk. What I seek to explore is if adopting to the Mediterranean diet will create the needed health benefit to prevent the onset of AMD. The Mediterranean diet is one which focuses on eating seafood, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and healthy fats from things such as olive

Oculocutaneous albinism or OCA is a set of four (or seven, including subdivisions) rare genetic disorders that are caused by mutations in up to seven different genes and are characterized by a complete lack or reduction of the pigment melanin in the eyes, hair, and skin. An estimated 1 in 20,000 people worldwide are born with this disorder. The conditions of OCA are caused by mutations in genes that are responsible and necessary for producing the melanin pigment in specialized cells (melanocytes). Not having enough of the melanin pigment can result in abnormal eye development, resulting in vision problems, and light skin that is easily damaged by the sun, at times resulting in different skin cancers, including an aggressive form called melanoma. Symptoms of this condition can also include nystagmus (involuntary back and forth movement of eyes), iris transillumination (reduced pigment in iris), reduced pigment in the retina, macular hypoplasia (poor development of the macula, resulting in abnormal foveal development in the retina), generally poor visual sharpness, photophobia (increased sensitivity to light), and strabismus (abnormal connection of the nerves from retina to brain, keeping the eyes from tracking

     Macular Degeneration is a problem in the part of the eye that controls your sharpest central vision. It is a group of diseases that result in a loss of detailed vision. The brain will not just leave the spot empty, so it learns to fill it in with spotty macular cell damage. People most of the time don't tell their doctors (opthalmologists) about it until it is well in advance.

Many people may not realize how important sight is. Dickinson, the author of the poems “We Grow Accustomed to the Dark” and “Before I Got My Eye Put Out”, completely understands its importance. In the poem “We Grow Accustomed to the Dark” the speaker talks about how new things occur and many changes come in life and how unpredictable it can be. In the poem “Before I Got My Eye Put Out” the speaker talks about how big the world is and how some people only get to see some of it.

The first description of CSD may have been as early as 1889 by Henri Parinaud, who observed enlargement of the preauricular lymph nodes with conjunctivitis. However, he did not make any association of his findings with cats and the clinical oculoglandular syndrome was only seen to be present in a small number of patients with CSD. In 1931 doctors Debre and Semelaigne, observered a young boy with cat scratches and a suppurating adenitis who tested negative for tuberculosis. This finding led them to search for a possible link to a feline transmitted disease. While they were unable to find a link bacteriologically, they observed several more similar

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is brain damage. It cannot be cured, it is not contagious, it is not a disease, and it does not get worse. According to Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia, "Cerebral Palsy is a broad term for various nonprogressive disorders of motor function in people, resulting from brain damage around the time of birth. Damage to the brain could occur before, during, or shortly after birth"(“Cerebral”). Since the damage is done during the brain’s formation, and occurs in the part of the brain that controls motor and muscle functions, people with CP might have problems with motor skills, muscle tone, muscle weakness, reflexes, balance, excessive drooling, difficulties swallowing or speaking, shaking, tremors, and
