Why we need reading-glasses before a zimmer-frame.

Abstract:

:Accommodative loss represents the fastest human biological decrement. Why? To examine this, the shape of the eye-lens during accommodation or its relaxation is analysed with special reference to age-related changes. The capsule is viewed as a force transmitter: the distribution of forces along centripetal capsular arcs and the resulting stresses and strains are calculated. The effect of zonular 'shifts' is considered. Age-related accommodative loss can be modelled successfully if changes in mechanical properties are linked to those in lenticular and capsular shape.

  • Visual evoked potentials to stimuli in apparent motion.

    abstract::Following an extensive single subject pilot study 12 Ss viewed a continuously cycling (3 Hz), two stimulus, apparent motion (AM) display. The "AM breakdown effect" was utilised to gather visual evoked potentials (VEPs) from sites O1, O2, T5, T6, P3, and P4 during periods in which the display elicited either: the perce...
