The ABCs of Binoculars
by: Kelham Regress
Binoculars
Binoculars are actually two telescopes placed side by side
so a viewer can see through them with both eyes. Unlike
monoculars which is one small telescope and can only been
seen through using one eye. The advantages of using
binoculars over monoculars are:
1.
Both eyes can see comfortably through both lenses
with having to squint one eye to see.
2.
Binoculars provide three dimensional images that
have more depth. Two views are drawn together to make one
total picture and allow the viewer to see things at some
distances up close and personal.
3.
Binoculars are just more comfortable to look through
and hold steady because both hands are usually used.
Binoculars come in the convenient hand-held sizes which
make them very easy to take with you wherever you go.
However, binoculars can also come in very large sizes but
those are usually used by more professional viewers and
need to be steadied by being placed on a tripod for support.
Most binoculars are used to view objects at very far
distances and have to be focused for the viewer to see
things clearly. Focus adjustments on each set of binoculars
are different, some binocular lenses can be focused
independently while others can be focused at the same time
by turning a little wheel in between the telescopes. Many
viewers using prescription glasses do not need them to see
through most telescopes and can see more comfortably by
taking off their glasses.
Numbers are used to describe the telescopic strength of the
binoculars. The first number gives the power of the
magnification and the second number tells the diameter of
the objective lens in millimeters which measures its light
gathering strength. For instance, a pair of binoculars that
reads 7x50 can magnify things seven times stronger than
they actually are with a 50mm objective lens.
Viewers can use a pair of binoculars for bird watching,
star gazing, observing far off animals, spotting ships at
sea, watching a concert, or enjoying a sports game from a
"nosebleed seat." They can be used while hiking, camping,
boating and hunting. One fascinating use of binoculars is
looking at the night sky. They enable the user to spot far
more stars, comets, galaxies, and nebulae far better than
with the naked eye. For example, galactic clouds and star
clusters look dim when viewed by the naked eye, but with
binoculars they are much clearer. Unlike the inverted view
a telescope provides, binoculars show the world right-side
up, just as a person would see things normally.
Furthermore, binoculars with a wide field of view allow a
user to observe a wide area, making it easier to observe
star clusters, comets, and galactic clouds. Binoculars are
easy to operate and allow viewers to concentrate fully on
looking up into the sky.

What You Should Know Before You Get Contact Lenses
What You Should Know Before You Get Contact Lenses
by: Martin Smith
There are a number of reasons why so many people around the world suffer from vision deterioration old age, disease of the retina, cornea to name but a few. To help with vision around 1284 in Italy, Salvino D'Armate inventing the first wearable eyeglasses but vision aids where around much longer D?Armate design was very similar to what is still available today.
Who invented Contact Lenses?
Leonardo da Vinci sketched and described several forms of contact lenses in 1508, and in 1632 Rene Descartes suggested the possibility of a corneal contact lens. Adolph Fick first thought of making glass contact lenses in 1888, but it took until 1948 when Kevin Tuohy invented the soft plastic lens for contacts to become a reality.
What If I Want To Use Contacts
If you?ve been wearing spectacles and have never used contact lenses there are a number of things you need to do.

Contact Lenses in Silicone Hydrogel ? the Vision of the Future?
Contact Lenses in Silicone Hydrogel ? the Vision of the Future?
by: Dr Bianca Tavares
Contact lenses manufactured from silicone hydrogel represent the most important advance in soft contact lens technology in recent years. Wearers would obviouly prefer lenses they can sleep in with total safety, so it was only a matter of time before the industry developed a safe product for continuous wear. After years of ongoing development and testing, such lenses are now readilly available for everone to wear at an affordable price. This article looks at what?s so special about silicone hydrogel lenses and why they might be just the right choice for you.
YEARS IN DEVELOPMENT
The concept of lenses made from silicone hydrogel was first proposed over 20 years ago. The potential benefits were clear but the technological challenge was as difficult as needing to combine oil and water to produce an optically clear product. Researcher organizations have to date...

What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?
What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?
by: Nicola Kennedy
Dry eye syndrome, also called Keratoconjunctivitis sicca or xerophthalmia, refers to a lack of lubrication and moisture in the eye. This is mainly due to a decrease in the tear production or an increase in the tear film evaporation. The typical symptoms of dry eye syndrome are burning and a subtle but constant eye irritation. The condition may also lead to inflammation of the frontal eye tissue.
There are several factors that may bring about dry eye syndrome. The condition is more common with older age, since tear production decreases with age. Dry eye as a syndrome may occur as a side effect of many medications. Harsh environmental conditions, such as a dusty or windy climate, may worsen the condition. Even your workplace environment, comprising of air conditioning or a dry heating system, may easily dry out your eyes. Insufficient blinking, such as, when constantly staring at a monitor screen, is...

About No Rules Full-Contact Fighting
About No Rules Full-Contact Fighting
by: Steven Gregoire
Full-contact fighting appeals to participants who want to engage in realistic combat with an opponent. Competitions tend to be more aggressive and may have few rules or almost no rules except the imperative to physically defeat the opponent. In general, competitors have more freedom in full-contact as opposed to medium-contact fighting, though often there are some techniques, such as biting and attacking the eyes or groin, which are forbidden. A point or time system may or may not be used, as this would interfere with realistic combat. The term ?full contact? may also refer to the limitation of protective gear. As an example, kyokushin, a variant of karate, allows participants to wear no more protection than a groin guard while sparring.
Depending on the rules, full-contact fighting may allow participants to use full force to disable or knock out an opponent or achieve submission. At its...
