observations. Mrs. Banks selected a student to perform the Functional Vision Assessment that is diagnosed with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. The student is a twelfth-grade student at the school. Mrs. Banks began the Functional Visual Assessment(FVA) first advising us to always check eye reports before beginning a FVA. The eye report indicated that the student was diagnosed with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia and Non-Senile
The Fly in the ointment was the visual crowding of the Visual System Actually, many people don’t understand their visual system and don’t know how it functions. Most people believe if they can see the world, object clearly that means their visual system is perfect. However, the Fly in the ointment was the visual crowding of the Visual System. What is visual crowding? Why it is important in our visual system? And how it functioned? Can it be avoided? We can get the answer in below. Visual crowding
Glaucoma is an eye disorder that causes damage to the optic nerve, this nerve plays a very important part in the way we carry images from the retina to our brain, so we have vision. Glaucoma has a nickname “the sneak thief of sight,” because this disease gradually worsens over a period of time and the person cannot tell their vision is going until it is too far advanced. As a result, it is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, especially in older generations. This disorder is typically
Life with Vision Loss Due to MS Joyce Bohen recently wrote a book about her experience with multiple sclerosis. She told about her battle with multiple sclerosis and one of her major symptoms, optic neuritis. In this book, she told each individual to imagine life from one day being able to see bright colors and distinct pictures to only realize that as each day goes by the world is beginning to look darker and darker until you can see nothing but black. Not only did she experience blindness
In his essay “Veridical Hallucination and Prosthetic Vision” David Lewis demonstrates through a vignette called “The Censor” why a suitable pattern of counterfactual dependence is required to for a subject to experience ‘genuine sight’. A subject’s experience of a scene has counterfactual dependence if, and only if, the subject is capable of distinguishing the scene from possible alternative scenes. If the scene were different, the subject would have a different experience. Thus, the subject’s particular
a passageway for fluid to flow through and deliver nutrients. However, with glaucoma, the absorbing ability of the anterior chamber wall is damaged, causing this liquid to begin to build-up in the anterior chamber. This pressure can damage the optic nerve, which results in "the progressive retrograde degeneration of axons and the death of retinal ganglion cells"(Mesentier-Louro et al. 2014, Introduction, para.1). These retinal ganglion cells receive
nursery environment. The visual system of newborn babies develops over an extended period but develops significantly within the first few months of life. A newborn has limited vision in the first few weeks of life due to the underdeveloped retina, optic nerve, lateral geniculate nucleus and this visual cortex. The retina contains rods and cones. These rods and cones are what distinguish between light and dark. The rods provide black and white vision whilst the cones are responsible to colour vision and
the patient has glaucoma the fluid dose not drain like it should drain but the fluid drains out of the eye. And this may lead to fluid build up and pressure inside the rises of the eye. Unless the pressure is brought down and controlled and the optic nerves and some of the other parts of the eye might become damaged leading to ...
one object to another. Vision occurs when light rays are bent (refracted) as they pass through the cornea and the lens. The light is then focused on the retina, and then the retina converts the light-rays into messages that are sent through the optic nerve to the brain. The brain after that interpret these messages into the images we see. Some of the
others take for granted, or no longer have the privilege of one or many of these senses due to disease processes or trauma. Worldwide, glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness (Peate & Jones, 2014). Glaucoma is a condition that causes optic nerve damage to the eye due to an increase
Glaucoma is defined as a slow, progressive disease that causes an increase in intraocular pressure against the optic nerve (Potter and Perry, 2015). Glaucoma can also be described as groups of disease that damage the optic nerve in the eye. The optic nerve sends information from the eye to the brain. Most of the time glaucoma is progressive, silent, and can be untreatable if the disease is too far along. Glaucoma causes loss of peripheral vision, central vision and blindness in the later stages

“Glaucоma is a disease оf the оptic nerve that can result in visiоn lоss and blindness” (Jampel 75). Even thоugh there are several factоrs, sоme оf which are yet tо be fully understооd, that lead tо damage оf the оptical nerve amоng persоns suffering frоm glaucоma, it has been fоund that the main treatment fоr peоple suffering frоm glaucоma remains bringing dоwn their intraоcular pressure (IОP) which is the fluid pressure inside the eye. There has been raging debate оn the use оf marijuana in the
