(Defining contact lenses) Contact lenses are medical devices worn directly on the cornea of the eye. Like eyeglasses‚ contact lenses help to correct refractive errors and perform this function by adding or subtracting focusing power to the eye’s cornea and lens (Link to body) There are many side effects/risk that contact lenses can have on your eyes Body I.

They most common types of surgical treatment include: intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE) Extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) phacoemulsification (Phaco) intracapsular cataract extraction involved removal of the entire lens and its supporting structures. Extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) and phacoemulsification (Phaco) involves removal of the cataract leaving the posterior capsule intact. The difference between ECCE and Phaco is the size of the incision and

example he restorted vision to an 18 year old woman who had previously been unable to count fingers at a distance of 8 inches (20cm). In 1888‚ the treatment of Keratoconus became one of the first practical applications of the newly invented contact lens‚ when the French physician Eugene Kalt manufactured a glass scleral shell‚ which improved vision by compressing the cornea into in more regular shape (Wikipidia 2). From that time‚ research of keratoconus has improved understanding of the disease and

However‚ he began to suffer severe pain‚ infection‚ and ulcers from the lens‚ and had to remove the lens. The doctor said he could continue to wear the contact lens‚ but only for short time periods. The issue is if Larry is able to claim the additional standard deduction to blind taxpayers. The case at hand

Myopic Eye uncorrected With a Myopic eyeball‚ the point of clarity falls in front of the retina rather than on it. This makes close objects clear and far objects blurry. Figure 1.2 – Myopic Eye corrected by a concave lens When a Myopic Eye is correct by a concave lens‚ the light rays are refocussed on the retina. This now makes both close and far objects clear. Hyperopia is also a common vision impairment that unlike Myopia‚ far objects are seen clear but close objects appear blurry.

Titan Lens lab has tried improving the hardness of the coating in the past but was able to achieve greater hardness up to 6H‚ but as soon as we apply Antireflection coating on this surface‚ the hardness again drops to 4H. Due to this‚ the lenses get scratched over a shorter period of time and causes scattering of light and blurring of vision. The customer is left with no other option but to replace the lenses within a span of 6 to 8 months. The desire is to have a lens with harder scratch

transparent lens of the eye which results in decrease of vision. It is not a tumour‚ a new growth of skin or tissue over the eye‚ but a fogging of the lens itself. There are three types of cataract. They are:- a nuclear cataract- a cortical cataract- a subscapular cataract A nuclear cataract is located in the nucleus - the centre of the lens. The cause of this cataract is likely due to changes in the protein structure as we grow older. A cortical cataract develops from the outside of the lens extending
