Hyperopia Equals Farsightedness?

August 26th, 2010  Tagged

Generally, people think hyperopia equals farsightedness or long-sightedness. This is not completely true. There are some minor difference between hyperopia and the other two names. One of the evident difference is sufferers of hyperopia can focus on objects afar.

It is essential to know something about vision and its related mechanism. When lights are reflected by the objects, they will come into the cornea firstly and then pass to retina through lens. Once the light come to retina, the signals will be received by optic nerves through which the brains are linked.

Therefore, in normal condition, the light signals will be received by retina. However, what if the signals can not be received by it? In some cases, the coming light can not focus on the retina and some abnormal problems occur for this reason. The reasons vary a lot, for some problems may happen to any one of the receiving and delivering procedures on cornea, lens, retain, etc.

It is no denying that people with hyperopia will suffer greatly in their lives. However, not all of them can notice this problem. And some other related problems will arise correspondingly. For example, sufferers may feel their eyes are very tired and sore, or sometimes dry and uncomfortable, after reading or seeing something for a long time. In some cases, sufferers can not focus on some nearby objects and they will feel headache and eye fatigue as a result. This is because eyes are too strained and fatigued.

In most cases, aging will cause some serious eye problems, like presbyopia, cataracts, AMD, etc. However, sometimes, eye problems are not strictly linked with age. And people are suggested to receive some interval eye examinations. For example, some young children may also be victims of hyperopia both in nature and nurture. And their symptoms will become worsened as time goes on. In this sense, some eye examinations are really essential for them, for some other potential problems may be detected through this process.

Profile on Magnifier

August 24th, 2010  Tagged

A magnifier, usually composed of a lens and a mirror handle, is a simple optical device used to observe the details of objects. Invention of the magnifier brought a light to the researches on science and biological studies, however, there is no specific answer to when did magnifiers invented, probably not later than the 13th century.

The reason why magnifiers are able to zoom in objects lies in the curved surfaces of lenses. According to the law of refraction, magnifiers make the image on retinas vary proportionately to the visual angles formed between the object and eyes, the bigger the visual angle, the clearer of the object. It means that, on the contrary to our normal thinking mode, more details can be observed when the object is further to the magnifier.

What’s more, magnifiers are widely applied in our daily lives. For example, when elders read, for their deterioration of eyesight, they often take a magnifier so as to see clearly words on books or newspapers. The film projector, with the application of a magnifier, shows pictures on screen big enough for people far away to make out. The camera lens are also made from magnifiers, for which reason, we can get whatever size of photos as we expect, by adjusting the distance between lens and films. Even glasses belong to one kind of magnifier.

Moreover, besides the main function of the magnifier to enlarge objects, magnifiers can also focus the sun’s rays or highlight on the paper to make fire, and the more intense the light, the easier to get fired.

Classification of esotropia

August 20th, 2010  Tagged

When someone’s eyes turn inward, we call it “cross-eyed” or esotropia. It is the opposite of exotropia. Actually, esoptropia with both eyes is just one kind of squint. People with esotropia may squint with just one eye, either the right esotropia or the left esotropia. In other conditions, patient is able to alternate between the two squint eyes, which mean sometimes the patient’s left eye is normal but the right eye squint, and sometimes the right eye is fixed with the lift eye squint. We call it alternating esotropia. In this case, patient has less possibility to develop an amblyopia because both eyes receive visual stimulation. In fact, they will be encouraged to alternate from one esotropia to another. Squint may happen constantly or intermittently, and constant squint my lead to an amblypia – a reduction in vision which can’t be corrected by lenses.

Esotropias can be concomitant or incomitant. In concomitant squint, the deviation dose not change with the direction of gaze, while in incomitant squint, the deviation is affected by the direction of gaze. The former type is much more common, and typically begins at the ages of 2 to 4 years.

Eye glasses, orthoptic exercises, prismatic correction, or eye muscle surgery may used to treat esotropia depend on the classification of squint.
