PREFACE
Some years ago, I found that I was in the process of developing cataracts.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am the great "Eye Enigma."
I am from the land down under.
Let me tell you a bit about myself.
My interests include:
Unexplained and strange phenomena such as dark matter, dark energy, black holes, the irreversibility of time and entropy, the multiverse, the unevenness of matter and antimatter, the fate of the universe, gravity, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, the Schrodinger wave equation, quantum theory and string theory and don't forget about Charles Darwin's theory of evolution "On the Origin of Species" one of the most important and controversial books ever written on human origins.
A strange set of interests you may say. But then each to his own.
And then I discovered that I was in the process of developing some strange eye disorders that I had never heard of before such as cataracts, keratoconus, dry eye, glaucoma and scotoma and my interests suddenly switched from science to ophthalmology.
I felt that my time could be better spent by trying to solve some of my more immediate problems rather than wasting my time on trying to solve some of the unexplained mysteries of the universe. Someone else more capable than me can do that.
And thus the legend of the "Eye Enigma" was born.
The name "Eye Enigma" actually comes from one of my articles called "eye enigmas" in which I describe my theory of the flow of fluid within the human eye.
Not even I, the great Eye Enigma knows how this article will end or how it will turn out. I am writing it as we go along. Anyway, join me for the ride and let us see what fascinating parts of ophthalmology and the human eye we can explore and discover together and let us explore THE GREATEST ADVANCEMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY.
INTRODUCTION
This chapter mainly deals with the design flaws within the human eye and the limitations thereof of the human eye.
Unless one knows what the design flaws are within the human eye one cannot really hope to fully appreciate THE GREATEST ADVANCEMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY.
The design flaws within the human eye
