    result of a condition called presbyopia, also referred to as "old eye" (Goldstein, 2014). Old eye describes when the distance of the near point increases as a person ages. According to Goldstein (2014), "The near point for most 20-year-olds is at about 10 cm, but it increases to 14 cm by age 30, 22 cm at 40, and 100 cm at 60" (p. 25).

    PHYSICS PROJECT TO STUDY THE OPTICAL LENS OF A HUMAN EYE Eyes are organs that detect light, and convert it to electro-chemical impulses in neurons. The simplest photoreceptors in conscious vision connect light to movement. In higher organisms the eye is a complex optical system which collects light from the surrounding environment; regulates its intensity through a diaphragm; focuses it through an adjustable assembly of lenses to form an image; converts this image into a set of electrical signals;

    and things such as head orientation, limb position, the chemical composition of the bloodstream, among other things. Specialized sensors project signals into the brain when they detect sensory modalities. Light-sensitive neurons in the retina of the eye, vibration-sensitive neurons in the cochlea of the ear, along with the pressure-sensitive neurons in the skin are all specialized receptor cells of which each sensory system begins with. The axons of the sensory receptor

    Biological Processing System: Understanding Color and Contrast Introduction While interacting with the world, human visual system is perhaps the first and foremost biological process system that directly involves in detecting information. As Colin Ware (2013) noted in Information Visualization, “We acquire more information through vision than through all of the other senses combined”. Hence, it is crucial for information designers to understand influential factors which affect our visual system
