An  eye chart  is used  to measure the eye's ability to see details at near and far distances.It is used to evaluate eyesight. The  eye tests usually involve reading letters or looking at symbols of different sizes on an eye chart. Usually, each eye is tested by itself. And then both eyes may be tested together, with and without corrective lenses (if you wear them).   Types of eye charts include the  logMAR chart ,  Snellen chart ,  Landolt C , and the  Lea test . The Snellen Chart is the commonly used eye chart  by the doctors. It has standard size letters and is normally viewed at a test distance of 20 feet. It is used   to determine your visual acuity  ."Visual" refers to the clarity or clearness of the vision and the word "acuity" comes from the Latin "acuitas" meaning sharpness.   Eye Charts are available for very young children or illiterate adults that do not require letter recognition. One version use...

Glaucoma is a  condition of high pressure within the eyeball causing gradual loss of sight. According to the World Health Organization, Glaucoma is considered as the second leading cause of blindness (behind cataracts)in the global level . In simple words, Glaucoma is a complicated eye disease caused by high eye pressure, and if left untreated causes permanent vision loss or blindness.It is called the “Sneak Thief of Sight” or “Silent Thief of Sight”. How the Eye works? Eyes The eye works very much like an old-style camera. In the camera, the light comes in through the shutter, is focused by the lens, falls onto the film and them we take it to be processed. In the eye, light comes in through the cornea and pupil. It is focused by the lens, falling onto the film in the eye (the retina) and then goes, via the optic nerve (the nerve of sight), to the brain (the processor) for developing. The shape of the eye is achieved through the circulation of a clear fluid (aqu...

Video games helps to improve vision. Playing action video games can boost an aspect of adult vision previously thought to be fixed, a US study shows. Researchers found playing the games improved the ability to notice even very small changes in shades of grey against a uniform background. "Contrast sensitivity" is important in situations such as driving at night, or in conditions of poor visibility. The Nature Neuroscience study raises the possibility of using a video game training regime to improve vision. Contrast sensitivity is often one of the first aspects of vision to be affected by ageing.  It can also be affected by conditions such as amblyopia, known as "lazy eye". Improving contrast sensitivity usually requires physical changes in eye optics, through eye surgery, glasses or contact lenses. A team from the University of Rochester studied expert video game players playing games involving aiming and shooting at virtual targets. They found ...
