Eye patching is used in the orthoptic management [2] of children at risk of lazy eye (), especially strabismic or anisometropic [3] amblyopia. These conditions can cause visual suppression of areas of the dissimilar images [4] by the brain such as to avoid diplopia, resulting in a loss of visual acuity in the suppressed eye and in extreme cases in blindness in an otherwise functional eye.
Negative afterimages are generated in the retina but may be modified like other retinal signals by neural adaptation of the retinal ganglion cells that carry signals from the retina of the eye to the rest of the brain. [3] Normally, any image is moved over the retina by small eye movements known as microsaccades before much adaptation can occur ...
The idea of the “frazzled English woman” aesthetic has been circulating on TikTok for a few years now, but essentially seeks to pin down that slightly kooky, haphazard, knit-heavy look ...
Impressions of several natural phenomena and the principles of some optical toys have been attributed to persistence of vision. In 1768, Patrick D'Arcy recognised the effect in "the luminous ring that we see by turning a torch quickly, the fire wheels in the fireworks, the flattened spindle shape we see in a vibrating cord, the continuous circle we see in a cogwheel that turns with speed".

The term “clean girl aesthetic” may have been recently coined, but the concept itself is a sartorial tale as old as time. That is to say, it’s merely minimalism at its best.
An ophthalmoscopic view of the retina showing advanced signs of diabetic retinopathy including two pale cotton wool spots. Cotton wool spots are opaque fluffy white patches on the retina of the eye that are considered an abnormal finding during a funduscopic exam (also called an ophthalmoscopic exam). [1]
If your jawline measurements are smaller than your forehead and you have a pointed chin, you most likely have a heart-shaped face. Someone with this face shape will notice there's more "volume ...
An artist's representation of how some people may see phosphenes by retinal stimulation. A phosphene is the phenomenon of seeing light without light entering the eye. The word phosphene comes from the Greek words phos (light) and phainein (to show). Phosphenes that are induced by movement or sound may be associated with optic neuritis. [1] [2]
