The Eye

Are There Blind Spots in Our Eyes? ABSTRACT Our eyes are vital organs because they help us visualize our surroundings. But are our eyes perfect in seeing what’s right in front of us? Sadly I learned in our evolution, nature messed up at one point and gave us blind spots in our eyes. This project shows why we have these blind spots, how to discover them, and how big they are. I researched on how our eyes see things; why when one eye is closed, the other eye sometimes can’t see what’s in front

Protections of the eye: The human eye is one of the most important things to a person and thus has many forms of protection. The eyelid protects the eye in three different ways: the eyelashes, the glands, and the movement of the eyelids. The eyelashes are beneficial in keeping dust and debris out of the eye. Touching the lashes will trigger the reflexive blinking mechanism. There are many different glands that are located in the eye. The Zeis gland is a gland that secretes oil. An infection

In the 17th century, eye movements were studied by direct observations. People were interested in knowing and understanding the motion of eyes while reading, watching, talking, etc. With the advancements in technology in late 20th century, experts used contact lenses and video for tracking and studying the motion of the eyeballs. These studies showed that eyes do not follow a smooth linear path while reading or observing an image instead it is in fixations and saccades. Visual attention is better

In this paper, we proposed an eye-movement tracking system. Based on Electro-Oculography (E.O.G) technology we detected the signal with different directions in eye-movements and then analyzed to understand what they represented about (e.g. horizontal direction or vertical direction). This enables people to control applications using bio-electric signals recorded from the body. In an Electrooculogram (EOG) based, signals during various eye (cornea) movements are employed to generate control signals

Dry eye is a chronic and progressive disease of the ocular surface that affects 30% of the worldwide, aging population.1 According to the 2007 International Dry Eye Workshop (DEWS), dry eye is defined as a multifactorial disease that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability.2 Risk factors include, but are not limited to: female gender, age, contact lens wear, systemic disease, use of medications and refractive surgery. Dry eye is an umbrella term encompassing

Eye and spine health are a core elements of comfort. They are usually disregarded when people sit down to use computers, tablets, and smartphones. Many people that have jobs that require them to sit in front of computers for extended intervals of time do not think about their back and eye health. Technology has also infiltrated itself into classrooms, which is a large risk because many students do not consider their back and eye health. Eye health is usually not taken into account, but it should

self-acceptance could her soul soar. Morrison clearly states that an individual or community identity cannot be acquired as long as those individuals and communities acquiesce in and conform to the oppressive definitions of the mainstream culture. The Bluest Eye is one of the finest pieces of English literature. This masterpiece is written by Toni Morrison. Here in this novel The Breedlove family has shown the individual identity and perception of beauty perfectly. The Breedlove family is a group of people

detect different colors in the visible spectrum. In this experiment a red cross is drawn on a plain, white sheet of paper and placed upon another clean sheet of paper. The student then stares at the red cross for sixty seconds without taking their eyes off of the cross. Once the sixty seconds pass the sheet of paper with the cross is quickly removed the clean sheet of paper underneath is visible. A faint blue-green cross should be clear on the clean sheet. When examined, an object and its color

The Representation of Eyes Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye follows a nine year old African American girl, Pecola Breedlove, as she is growing up in the 1940’s in the racially mixed town of Lorain, Ohio.
