SCIENTIFIC NAMES FOR SHORT AND LONG SIGHTEDNESS

SHORT SIGHTED- Myopia

LONG SIGHTED- hypermetropia

How can it be corrected


A person with myopia or short sight can see objects close to them clearly,
but not far away. ... Myopia iscorrected by spectacles or contact lenses with
lenses which are 'minus' or concave in shape. So if you're short sighted, your
prescription will have a minus lens power, e.g. -2.50D.

Long-sightedness affects the ability to see nearby objects. ... The medical name for long-
sightedness is hyperopia or hypermetropia. ... An eye test can confirm whether you're long or short-
sighted, and you can be given a prescription for glasses or contact lenses to correct your
vision.Long-sightedness can usually be corrected simply and safely using glasses made
specifically to your prescription. ... Wearing a lens that is made to your prescription will ensure that
light is focused onto the back of your eye (retina) correctly, so that close objects don't appear as
blurry.

CORRECTION USING DIAGRAMS


Diseases which can cause damage to the eye
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of rare, genetic disorders that involve a
breakdown and loss of cells in the retina—which is the light sensitive tissue
that lines the back of the eye. Common symptoms include difficulty seeing at
night and a loss of side (peripheral) vision.

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common cause of vision loss among people
with diabetes and a leading cause of blindness among working-age adults.
DME is a consequence ofdiabetic retinopathy that causes swelling in the
area of the retina called the macula.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING


While natural light is produced by the sun, artificial lightsources can include
incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
Sunlight contains all the colors of the spectrum, which is necessary for
photosynthesis in plants

Poor lighting can cause several problems such as:

 Insufficient light - not enough (too little) light for the need.

 Glare - too much light for the need.

 Improper contrast.

 Poorly distributed light.

 Flicker.

These two color models are:

 Light Color Primaries (Red, Green, Blue)

 Pigment Color Primaries (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow)

The primary colors of light are red, green, and blue. If you subtract these from white you get cyan,
magenta, and yellow. Mixing the colorsgenerates new colors as shown on the color wheel, or the
circle on the right. Mixing these three primary colors generates black.
By convention, the three primary colors in additive mixing are red, green, and blue.
In theabsence of color, when no colors are showing, the result is black. If all three primary
colorsare showing, the result is white. When red and green combine, the result is yellow.

R+G=Y

R+B=M

G+B=C

Yellow (Y), magenta (M) and cyan (C) are sometimes referred to as secondary colors
of light since they can be produced by the addition of equal intensities of two primary
colors of light. The addition of these three primary colors of light with varying degrees
of intensity will result in the countless other colors that we are familiar (or unfamiliar)
with.
What happens when light falls on an object

If the object is transparent, the lightray undergoes REFRACTION. If


theobject is a polished surface, the lightray undergoes REFLECTION. If
theobject is not a polished surface, thelight ray undergoes SCATTERING.
Onething that remains constant is the fact that energy from the light ray is
absorbed by the object.
When a light ray falls on an object, it can undergo various phenomena,
depending on the nature of the object. If the object is transparent,
the lightray undergoes REFRACTION. If theobject is a polished surface,
the lightray undergoes REFLECTION.

These colors are often observed aslight passes through a triangular prism.
Upon passage through theprism, the white light is separated intoits
component colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and
violet. Theseparation of visible light into itsdifferent colors is known as
dispersion.

Difference between
Difference Between Translucent,Transparent, and Opaque Materials. Light
transmission capacity varies from object to object. Transparent
objects allow all the light to pass through them, translucent ones allow
partial light to pass, whereas opaqueones allow no light to pass through.
