Question 1. 1. An article in the Wall Street Journal in early 2001 noted two developments in the market for laser eye surgery. The first development concerned side effects from the surgery, including blurred vision. The second development was that the companies renting eye-surgery machinery to doctors had reduced their charges. In the market for laser eye surgeries, these two developments (Points : 1)…

Katherine Bourzac, in her article “A Smarter Prosthetic for the Eye” (2012), explains to readers that new prosthetics for the eye could reverse vision loss in some people with a simple implant. She supports this claim by explaining the technology and how it “combines infrared video-projection goggles with a small, wire-free chip implanted inside the retina” then by stating “[the implants] might restore more vision than other retinal prosthetics being worked on” (1). Bourzac’s purpose is to inform readers about the exciting upcoming technology for people with vision loss in order to show readers that there is a way to get vision back, showing the positive influences of retinal prosthetics on society. She adapts a informative and hopeful…
Dr. Mark Everett, clinic coordinator and optometric physician (OP) of the Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute (PCLI) office in Spokane, Washington, looked at the ad that Vancouver, Canada-based Lexington Laser Vision (LLV) had been running in the Spokane papers and shook his head. This was not the first ad nor the only clinic advertising low-priced LASIK eye surgeries. Dr. Everett just could not believe that doctors would advertise and sell laser eye surgery based on low price as if it were a stereo or a used car. The fact that they were advertising based on price was bad enough, but the price they were promoting–$900 for both eyes–was ridiculous. PCLI and its cooperating optometric physicians would not even cover their variable cost if they performed the surgery at that price. A typical PCLI customer paid between $1,750 and $2,000 per eye for corrective laser surgery. Although Dr. Everett knew that firms in Canada had several inherent cost advantages, including a favorable exchange rate and regulatory environment, he could not understand how they could undercut PCLI's price so much without compromising service quality.…
The first step was to observe the outer structure of the eye. Prior to dissection we located the optic nerve, cornea, sclera, iris, pupil, and lens. We then trimmed away excess tissue surrounding the eyeball on the sclera. Then we started a cross-section of the eye with the scalpel by making an incision behind the middle of the eyeball through the sclera. We then separated the eye into halves. We let the vitreous humor slide out. We had to tease it gently away from the lining of the eye. We then tipped the front portion over and let the lens fall out after a little teasing. We located the vitreous body, lens, hyaloid fossa, and zonula ciliaris. We picked up the lens with a pair of forceps and dried it with a paper towel. We attempted to observe its ability to magnify but we weren’t able to see much. If we would have been able to let it dry overnight we probably would have been able to see more. We then turned the eye so we were looking at the cornea. We cut the front of the eye around the outside of the outside of the cornea to remove the cornea. We cut the cornea in half to observe its thickness. We picked up the back half of the eye and located the retina. We located the optic nerve / blind spot when we turned the eye over. We pinched the nerve with the forceps. We moved the retina so that we could see the metallic – looking tissue at the back of the eye which is the choroid. The portion of the choroid that appears blue is the…

Glaucoma has the potential to affect any person in the world so people have an interest in finding a cure for this ailment. With stem cell technology quickly becoming a trend for all sorts of injuries around the world, this treatment could very easily jump on the band wagon to success because of its wide range of probable victims and the non controversial source of these stem cells. The treatment at this point is not perfect, but if it received support from the general public, funding and increased research could soon follow suit. This treatment would allow millions of people around the world to regain their vision and their quality of…
It's important to have this procedure as the retina is a very delicate and converts light into images which are then sent to the brain. Other parts of the retina is the macula made up of delicate cells which can be found at the centre of the retina, if these become damaged or stop working we won't be able to process information received through these light images and our reading and distinguishing colours and fine detail diminishes. another eye condition could be cataracts which can only be described as clouding of the lens in the eye, this will give a frosted, faded blurred vision to an individual which has built up over time not allowing light to focus images clearly caused by a build up of skin over the eyes. Hearing loss such as Conductive hearing loss is caused by an obstruction, which mainly affects the middle or outer ear this may be due to fluid build up such as wax or an infection and is treatable and can affect any age…
