The Human Eye Is A Perfect Well Designed Optical System

“What is this for?” I asked, pointing at the funny-looking equipment in front of me. At that time, I was about 5 years old and did not know better. My curiosity must have impressed the optometrist as she was left in silence, but she answered,” This is a phoropter.” I remember seeing the dancing bear and the letters through the phoropter as she changed the different lenses. When I looked through the different lenses, some of them were quite fuzzy while others were almost as clear as crystal. My optometrist told my parents and I that I needed glasses, so when I went down to the store that sold glasses. There were so many choices.

Paris optician, Edouard Kalt created and fitted the first glass contact lenses to correct vision

Not to mention, they don’t work very well. As a kid, I read everywhere I could. “Everywhere” included the dim backseat of a moving car, by the glow of passing streetlights—a location not exactly conducive to the healthy usage of one’s corneas. This led to painful years of pink-rimmed glasses I despised and refused to wear.

9. Visionary Optical Research has patented a new type of implantable lens for people with serious eye defects. It does not have access to the financial assets or marketing expertise to begin manufacturing and selling the lenses on a large scale.

Sof-Optics is a small (specialty-niche) player in a $155M contact-lens market. (Three competitors occupy 75% of this market (Bausch + Lomb (51%), American Optical (14%), Continuous Curve (10%); approximately twenty players (including Sof-Optics’ ~3%) occupy the remaining 25%.) This consumer space is already appreciable in size (~5M contact-lens wearers in 1980), and promises exponential growth in future years (only 10% of ~50M prospective lens-wearers in America have even tried soft contact lenses).

Imagine pricking your fingers with a needle five times a day. As a type 1 diabetic, this is a reality for me. My fingertips are callused and scarred. I was frustrated that after years of having diabetes, there wasn’t an easier way to check my blood sugar. I scoured Google Scholar for alternatives and I found a contact lens technology that would be capable of checking sugar levels using only tears. This would eliminate the need to prick my fingers for blood! If an unassuming tear could simplify diabetes care, what else the eye was capable of? My curiosity led me to volunteer as an optometry intern for blind motivational speaker Nancy Solari. Nancy is based in California and I live in Maryland, so I was a remote intern, communicating with Nancy

The eye is immediately drawn to the incredible brightness on the left half of the image, showing the people who are going to be gunned down mercilessly as the viewer’s eye is further directed by the man’s undoubtedly distressed visage towards the very things threatening his life. The lack of color is apparent as it all feels very muted outside of the only source of light being placed on the men who are in danger. The darkness and tones of brown and gray on the soldiers in contrast to the very bright, and light tones of the one countryman and his compatriots appears to display a sort of good versus evil struggle going on. If your eyes are not instantly drawn to the illuminated men then it is very likely that the guns would command your awareness, being at the literal center of the image painting. The firearms pointed at the men can only signal severe negativity as you only ever point any type of gun at something you intend to shoot, and you only shoot if you intend to kill. The entire painting is very heart-rending as it depicts men taking other men’s lives for seemingly no reason at all.

Seeing them get tested, try their first lenses, and helping them learn to properly care for both the lenses and their eyes at a young age is inspiring, and knowing that I am making a difference in these children's lives by the simple act of helping them see better continues to motivate me. This is especially true when these young patients are receiving Orthokeratology treatments. With these treatments I get to witness their vision improve over time, eventually being able to see perfectly with naked eyes This has taught me the importance of beginning vision care at an early age, making the study of youth vision care a particular interest of

An optamaligist known as Dr. Ralph Chu and Dr. Rex Hamilton have made some ground breaking discoveries in helping to prevent fading close up vision. They have made an amazing eye plant called the rain drop. The rain drop helps with reshaping the cornea so it can focus better and faster. One of the most important ways it helps people with close up vision is to be able to read better. According to Dr. Ralph Chu, “this is one of the most significant advances in apthomology in 20 years. The reason why it is so important is because it can remove the need for reading glasses in anyone that affected by presbyopia also known as the aging eye. The lenses costs 4000$ to get implanted are not covered by insurance.

With a varied number of options available in the market in terms of contact lenses at the least, we are going to talk about

Inserting a contact lens. A skill I never thought I would need until the day arrived for an annual doctor's appointment and my doctor told me I should go see an ophthalmologist (an eye doctor). Needless to say, after a visit with the burly eye doctor, I had gotten glasses and was still refusing to get contacts. I knew I probably needed them, but the thought of sticking my finger in my eye to but in a rubbery circular thing gave me the chills. It just wasn't natural. And I went a long time with just my black rimmed glasses, that is, until soccer season came around. I was fine. I could see… couldn't I? That was what I asked myself after been hit in the face with the ball during my team's first game. Was

Foster Grant sunglasses were the first to be sold as an over-the-counter consumer item instead of having to be ordered by an optometrist. (Grant, 2004)

Sure, the clarity of seeing the world does eliminate past migraines, but new migraines start from constantly re-adjusting the glasses. A fear of braking the only asset that helps one function in today’s society is unthinkable. Every day’s cloudy weather even with the sun’s shine because of built up debris collected onto the lens. Scratched streaks on the glasses are never invisible no matter how many time a cotton shirt, or a silky cloth swipes back and forth. People today watch more television, play more video games, and stare at their cellphones constantly at a five-inch distance knocking down the numbers of twenty-twenty vision. Because of the thickness applied to some glasses, eyes appear unnaturally minified or magnified. 3D movies are excellent to watch if you are two eyed, but not four eyed. During a messy weather, the rain is relaxing to some, but annoying to those who have to wear glasses because rain drops slide and merge together like the rain drops on car

How would your life be different if you had a product that eliminated your problems regarding glasses?

For years afterwards, I felt like the glasses were holding me back. I couldn't play volleyball because I felt embarrassed if my glasses fell off during play or
