Since the beginning of the 20th century, there has been a reliable treatment for tuberculosis (TB). However, tuberculosis continues to be the leading cause of death attributable to a single infectious agent. It ranks higher than HIV and AIDS, as well as other diseases.

The Physical Properties of the Human Eye Similar to Those of a Digital Camera

The “Front Window” Of the Eye – The Cornea The cornea, also known as the straightforward “front window” of the eye, and the natural lens in humans form a complex ocular lens system that serves the same purpose as the lens in a camera.

This image causes the retina to generate an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve, where it is interpreted and converted into the images we see. The brain creates the images that we see. The cornea and lens collaborate to […]
