Visual perception

bourgeois male professionals and managerial or educational elites saw how they could impose their “modern vision” on others and acted upon it. The Parisians utilized different visuals to advertise this “modern vision”…

Strolling through the mall in search of an optometrist office I visited two years ago, I ran into a doctor by the name of Courtney Thompson. She was wearing green scrubs and white tennis shoes along with a warm smile. She spoke with a pleasant tone as she politely asked, “How can I help you today?” It took me by surprise that attention was directed towards me. I inquisitively responded, “I am looking for an optometrist office to speak with a doctor in regards to shadowing.” Her face lit up like…

This photo shows a pair of eyeglasses. The part of the image that is seen through the lens is in focus while everything outside of the lens frame is out of focus. The human eye is a fascinating organ. There are many parts of the eye that aid in allowing a person to see, but this paper will talk only the components that allow images to form on the retina. In general, the ciliary muscle can relax or contract to adjust the focal length of the lens. When the muscle is contracted, the curvature of…

object is bigger than the other one. It's a wonderful piece of art, it can be used for a variety kind of things. It's a very creative optical illusion that makes people see in a new perspective. This specific room can manipulate someone’s perception and make their mind think twice. To be able to see the optical illusion you need to see it from a specific point of view. When someone looks through the viewing point of the Ames Room the room will give a normal perspective of a squared room.…

An Ames room is a distorted room that gives an optical illusion. The room was first constructed in 1946 by an American ophthalmologist named Adelbert Ames Jr. and it was invented in 1934. The room is based on a concept invented by Hermann Helmholtz in the late 19th century according to my research. The room has two illusions, one is that the room appears to look squared when you look at it through a small hole in the front of the room but it is not it is actually like a trapezoid. The second…

Since a young age, the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” was constantly thrown at me, forcing it to be a topic of importance even in my childhood. Growing up, I had extreme care for others; whatever I put my mind to, I was sure to complete with great passion. While narrowing down what career path I wanted to pursue, I was certain I wanted to pick something in the medical field, hoping to positively touch and change the lives of many. Optometry has had an impact on my life ever…

Review of Literature Introduction: Optical illusions are usually described as visual images that differ from reality. The eyes and brain “sees” something that does not really match the physical measurement of the image. Optical illusions can function in many ways, they can be images that are different from the objects that make them up, they can also be ones that come from the effects on the eyes and brain through excessive stimulation, and others where the eye and brain creates unconscious…

Cookie...Cookie… Cookie… Cookie? Wake up. Oh my God she doesn’t move. I started to think many things, she’s dead. No, no! It can’t be. My cousin told me to pick her up. It was the first thing that came up to my mind. I picked her up. She’s cold. She doesn’t move. I don’t feel nothing. It was like a stuffed animal, but heavy. I put her down. When I saw her there, just laying down without moving, my heart stopped for a minute. It was a huge impact in my life. It made me realize that animals are…

"There's no such thing as stars, Lea." My older sister and I sit on the shaggy carpet in my room. “Yes, there are. I saw a picture once.” I insist. “They’re beautiful.” “Okay, two things.” My sister Sara says. “One, they’re not real. That photograph was obviously forged. Two, even if they did exist, they are not beautiful. My ancient mythology teacher said that people believe they were giant balls of fire in the sky that would burn things down on Earth.” “They were what gave it light!” I say…

Neurofibromatosis ! “ The most common disorder you’ve never heard of”. This was not suppose to happen to me. From what I thought I just had a struggle in school and that my so called cafe nola spots where just birthmarks, I just had over 50 of them. There were no other signs. How was I born with this disorder and not made aware of it until the age ten. Well here we go the story from where it all became real. I was starting the fourth grade at a new school Cross Creek Charter Academy. This was…
