USE OF FRESNEL LENS AS PHONE MAGNIFIER

USE OF FRESNEL LENS AS PHONE MAGNIFIER By Tanushree Mazumder,1 st  year student, Pailan Collage of Management & Technology MAKAUT.   ABSTRACT : OBJECTIVE: ·       Use of FRESNEL lens as phone magnifier for safe comfortable reading with low cost. ·       Attract attention for research and development in this regard. ·       Encourage & educate about eye health, especially among young generation.   INTRODUCTION: Due to COVID-19 use of digital platform has increased, which is directly affecting eye health. Extensive research has been conducted in this area. One finding which seems to be mentioned everywhere is `blue light’. This light which is emitted from our phone , tablets & laptops , sadly it has been found to have negative effect on our eye health. Studies suggested that it has “a potential to lead a macular degeneration”, by passing the pupil & cornea to beam directly into the retina. The blue light is thought to affect central vision as it kills off photoreceptor ce

Research Study : Digital Eye Strain - In period of lockdown by Samidha Karmakar.

Digital Eye Strain- In  period of lockdown. By,  Samidha Karmakar,  3rd year student, Pailan College of Management & Technology MAKAUT. ( Content Writer Intern of Eye Supervision ) ABSTRACT Objective  : The primary goal of this study is to implement the 20-20-20 rule  in our daily activities to reduce the digital eye strain in the period of world’s inevitable lockdown due to the pandemic spread of corona virus(COVID-19) which have engaged people more gazing at screen all day long (TV, video games, internet, smartphone,laptop,webinar,online classes for students etc) As people  are  fulfilling their civic duty by staying at home, they are also engaged with gadgets at th e same time. While visiting  eye care professionals  (optometrist, ophthalmologist )  they may have mentioned  about the 20-20-20 rule to you. Keyword : 20-20-20   rule, lockdown, pandemic, coronavirus, digital eye strain. Methodology  : 11 Authorize questions had been asked to 72 peoples from different colleges/unive

ORTHO K OVERNIGHT CONTACT LENSES - ORTHOKERATOLOGY

ORTHo-K OVERNIGHT CONTACT LENSES Otherwise known as orthokeratology , orthok are a form of overnight contact lenses that help to reshape the cornea, through moulding the surface of the eye at night. Ortho k lenses are a great solution to a non-surgical option for people who experience the struggles of myopia / short sightedness. Ortho-k lenses help people with short sightedness / myopia to see clearly in the daytime without the use of prescription glasses or contact lenses . Orthokeratology is a very common choice of treatment used to help children showing the early signs of myopia / short sightedness. Evidence has shown that wearing ortho-k lenses overnight helps to reduce the impact of myopia / short sightedness and long term eyesight problems which can begin early in childhood. Fortunately, when myopia / short sightedness begins in childhood, the signs are usually fairly obvious. For example, a child’s caregivers may begin to notice that the child is struggling with activities such

Retinoblastoma

What Is Retinoblastoma? Retinoblastoma is a rare type of eye cancer that develops in the retina, the part of the eye that detects light and color. Although this disorder can occur at any age, it usually develops in young children. Most cases of retinoblastoma occur in only one eye, but both eyes can be affected. The most common sign of this disorder is a visible whiteness in the normally black pupil (the opening through which light enters the eye). This unusual whiteness is particularly noticeable in photographs taken with a flash, and is called "cat's eye reflex" or leukocoria. Other signs and symptoms of retinoblastoma include crossed eyes or eyes that do not point in the same direction (strabismus); persistent eye pain, redness, or irritation; and blindness or poor vision in the affected eye. People with the hereditary form of retinoblastoma may also develop a tumor in the brain called pinealoma. Pinealoma develops in the pineal gland, which is located at the ba

Anisometropia

Anisometropia  is an eye condition which the two eyes have unequal power. One eye can be nearsighted or, farsighted or can have a combination of both. This condition is called antimetropia. Generally a difference in power of two diopters or more is the accepted anisometropia. This condition occurs when your eyes have different refractive powers, that can result your eyes to focus unevenly. Normally Anisometropia occur when the two eye are a different size or different shape than the other. This condition causes unsymmetrical curvatures, unsymmetrical farsightedness, or asymmetric nearsightedness. One of the most common causes of amblyopia that is also known as Lazy Eye, is Anisometropia. Causes: We still do not know completely what the causes of anisometropia are.  But having different eye sizes can be a major factor. Anisometropia influences our binocular vision. Any individual with anisometropia normally see a larger image with one eye and a sm
