Lyrics detail the mundane lives of New Yorkers on their way to their jobs and the immediate change they faced after the attacks, describing the empty sky without the towers as a "broken city sky, stolen from [his] eyes" and the towers themselves as "steel corpses stretched out towards an ending sun." [19] Carrie Newcomer "I Heard an Owl"
Blue light, a type of high-energy light, is part of the visible light spectrum. High-energy visible light (HEV light) is short-wave light in the violet/blue band from 400 to 450 nm in the visible spectrum, which has a number of purported negative biological effects, namely on circadian rhythm and retinal health (blue-light hazard), which can lead to age-related macular degeneration.
Laser blended vision. Laser blended vision is a laser eye treatment which is used to treat presbyopia (ageing eyes; [1] progressive loss of the ability to focus on nearby objects) or other age-related eye conditions. [1] It can be used to help people that simply need reading glasses, and also those who have started to need bifocal or varifocal ...
X-ray optics. X-ray optics is the branch of optics that manipulates X-rays instead of visible light. It deals with focusing and other ways of manipulating the X-ray beams for research techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray crystallography, X-ray fluorescence, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray microscopy, X-ray phase-contrast imaging, and ...
We've all grown up thinking that sitting too close to the television is damaging to our eyes ... but that might not be the case. Technology spawns lots of confusion ... and a few affectionately ...
Eccentricity effect. The eccentricity effect is a visual phenomenon that affects visual search. As retinal eccentricity increases (i.e. the light of the image enters the eye at a larger angle and approaches peripheral vision), the observer is slower and less accurate to detect an item they are searching for.

Many babies are born with blue eyes, and then their eyes change color as their genes continue to develop. Hair color is the same way, sometimes, babies are born with very light colored hair that ...
Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight and is measured by the angle or half-angle of inclination between those two lines. [ 1][ 2] Due to foreshortening, nearby objects show a larger parallax than farther objects, so parallax can be used to determine distances.
