Eyesight

Anthocyanins might also improve eyesight. Thirty-six people were examined for their ability to adapt to the light and dark both before and after the oral administration of bilberry anthocyanins. For several hours after the administration of the anthocyanins, their eyesight was improved significantly, although the effect declined within 24 h [51]. 

The effect of bilberry on night visual acuity (VA) and night contrast sensitivity (CS) was examined by using a double-blind, placebo-controlled, and 

Thirty-one patients with various types of retinopathy were tested for the effect of anthocyanosides on the retinal vessels. Among these patients with the retinopathy types, especially the patients with diabetic retinopathy improved with a positive influence on the permeability and the tendency for hemorrhage. The internal treatment of the primary retinopathy seems to be very effective [56].

Health and Safety Factors, Toxicology. Phosphoms oxychloride volatilises readily its vapors are extremely irritating to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes (49). Direct contact with the Hquid can produce severe bums. Contaminated clothing must be removed immediately. Inhalation of POCl vapors can cause pulmonary edema and temporary eyesight problems. 

Impairment of visibility involves degradation of the ability to perceive the environment. Several factors are involved in determining visibility in the atmosphere (Fig. 10-1) the optical characteristics of the illumination source, the viewed targets, the intervening atmosphere, and the characteristics of the observer s eyesight (1).

Henry Gilman (1893-1986) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and received his Ph D. in 1918 at Harvard. He then became professor of chemistry at Iowa State University 11919-1962), where he remained active until his death at ago 93. An exuemely prolific researcher, Gilman published more than 1000 scientific papers during his career. Remarkably, he lost much of his eyesight at age 53 but still went or to accomplish some of fiis finest work in later years. 

A 65-year-old African-American female with a history of diabetes, mild intermittent asthma, and hypertension presents to your clinic for her yearly check-up. She states that she is concerned about losing her eyesight because her sister has started losing her vision from glaucoma. She states that she has not noticed any changes in her vision. 

To understand the method of steepest accent, consider a hiker who wishes to reach the summit of a volcanic island (assumed unimodal) by taking the shortest path. The shortest path is the steepest. Suppose our hiker is a mathematician, and rather than use his eyesight he decides to determine mathematically the best direction in which to proceed. Further, he knows that if he goes 20 ft to the north of his current position he will rise 20 ft and if he goes 20 ft to the east he will fall 10 ft. If the surface were a plane, he could approximate it by the following equation ...

The King travels through six regions in the heavenly firmament, and in the seventh he fixes his abode. There the royal palace is adorned with golden tapestry. If you understand my meaning, this Key will open the first lock, and push back the first bolt but if you do not, no spectacles or natural eyesight will enable you to understand what follows. But Lucius Papirius has instructed me not to say any more about this Key.

Dust Airborne solid particles (an aerosol) that range in size from 0.1 to 50pm and larger in diameter. A person with normal eyesight can see dust particles as small as 50 pm in diameter. Smaller airborne particles cannot be seen unless strong light is reflected from the particles. Dust of respirable size (below 10 pm) cannot be seen without the aid of a microscope. 

A 2 5-year-old man who has had problems with his eyesight has started to notice central vision loss. His older sister has similar problems, and his mother is a homemaker who is legally blind, although she told him that she used to be able to drive a car. He states he has no other medical problems. Consultation with an ophthalmologist indicates that his intraocular pressures are normal and that his lenses are clear. There is no sign of retinal bleeding. The patient is concerned that the same problem will develop in his children when they reach his age. 

If precipitating factors can be identified these should obviously be eliminated as far as possible before drug treatment is used. Examples are tension, stress, lack of sleep, alcohol, smoking, large intake of coffee and tea, irregular meals, bad work posture and problems with eyesight. Hormonal ilucmations and common colds also often cause headache. 

Two years later del Rio was still serving as professor of mineralogy, but in the following year he asked for a substitute in order that he might complete the supplement to his textbook, which was to include discussions of the most recent discoveries made in Europe and the United States. According to Senor Ramirez (7), this was published in 1849 (27). In spite of failing eyesight, del Rio continued, almost to the dose of his life, to contribute to the literary and scientific periodicals of Mexico, yet in spite of his illustrious services, he was reduced to poverty in his old age (28). On March 23, 1849, he suffered a fatal cerebral attack. 

Measurements also commonly involve random errors. These are errors whose size and direction differ from measurement to measurement that is, they are unpredictable and unreproducible. They are commonly associated with the limited sensitivity of instruments, the quality of the scales being read, the degree of control over the environment (temperature, vibration, humidity, and so on), or human frailties (limitations of eyesight, hearing, judgment, and so on). We shall say much more about random error later in this chapter. 

Most specifications give a set strain and exposure period but it is preferable to examine test pieces at a series of times such that data can be obtained on the relationship between strain and time to appearance of cracks. ISO 1431 requires examination to be carried out with a lens of x7 magnification but, unfortunately, any examination of cracks is to some extent dependent on the eyesight of the operator. In practice, many workers say a crack is only a crack if they can see it with the naked eye. The alternative procedure of measuring relaxation in stress will be discussed later. An optical method of automatically detecting cracks has been described by Zeplichal51 but this is relatively complicated and has not been considered for standardisation. 

If the time comes when you become a little unsteady on your feet, you should have enough common sense to stay off roofs and out of slippery bathtubs. If necessary, buy a cane and use it with style. If your eyesight begins to dim, recognize that driving at night is risky and plan daytime driving trips when possible.
