Types of Retinoscope: There are basically Static retinoscopy and Dynamic retinoscopy. Static retinoscopy  is used for routine refractions with the patient viewing a distant target. Dynamic retinoscopy  is performed when the patient focuses on a near target and is helpful in determining the accommodative ability of eyes with decreased vision and in checking for residual accommodation after administering a cycloplegic drug. Retinoscopy: is a technique to obtain an objective mea...

According to data available on the most comprehensive resource about color blindness, quite a lot of us — around 0.5% of women and 8% of men — suffer from inaccurate perceptions of color. To Be Seen Optom has compared how people with different kinds of color blindness see the world, and it turns out that most of them certainly don’t just perceive it in black and white. There are several different categories of color blindness, but we focused on the most common ones. The results are fascinating. A person with normal vision sees the world around them in these colors. Deuteranomalia is the most common form of color blindness. Around 4.63% of men suffer from it and in many cases don’t even realize. It’s clear from the photo that the colors have lost some of their brightness, especially with regard to green and red. Protanopia...
