Elderly people are more likely to develop glaucoma when they’re around the age 60 but glaucoma can also develop on young adults, or an infant could just be born with it. 1 out of 10,000 babies are born with glaucoma, which may not seem like a many,…

heart at my inner self as a form of reflection. I discovered that without my phone, I could learn more about myself and “by renunciation I discovered a hidden God” (130). Without social media and my phone to distract me from connecting with God, the myopia that I had acquired from the social norms in modern society began to clear. I realized that life is a beautiful gift from God and that no matter what we do, God will show us an ultimate love that compares to no other. This camp and my…

for it is only therein that one can truly gleam insight into the more objectively preferable course that he or she (being at the helm) should have society embark upon. The mere lovers of sights and sounds are inadequate, because their perceptive myopia limits their understanding of Truth to what is transduced by the obtuse resolution of their senses alone. (476a9 - 476c1) Powerful, useful, and vital as these senses may be, one runs the risk of allowing them to monopolize his or her clarity and…

Joseph Gold explains that Pip’s first awareness of “the identity of things” in the graveyard on Christmas Eve is an outstanding English illustration “of the most ancient questions, ‘who am I?’ and ‘why am I here?’” (242). In Pip’s search for a meaningful identity, Dickens has incorporated the desire of all humanity to understand its existence and find a place in the world. Because Dickens allows Pip’s story to be narrated by an older, and wiser Pip, Gold states that Pip becomes the person he is…

Long-sightedness (hyperopia) is when you can see distant objects clearly, but nearby objects seem blurry and Astigmatism causes overall blurry vision. In most…
