Darwin was wrong all along ?

whoops sorry

What about someone post-op cataract ?

Can they not see clearly ?

With little or no amplitude of accomodation ?

 

amplitude of accomodation

Is that how big your house is?

 

And here I though cataracts were clouding of the cornea

Not actually the lens and the surround ciliary muscles which allow the eye to accomodate different source differences.

I do however think it's fair to assume there might be some negative implications for the vision of a post-op cataract sufferer compared with someone who never suffered from cataracts.

 

You seem quite intelligent.

Are you really ginger?

 

You thick git.

It's when you have electric fitted in your house & no longer have to use candles.

Problem is that intelligent design is being pushed by fundamentalist Christians to be taught alongside Darwin's Theory of Evolution in science classes, but there isnt ANY scientific background in intelligent design. Therefore you can't teach it as science. Stick it in a religious class or as part of a seperate module Id say.

This is what happens when you have religious f*ckspuds running your country.

 

I stand corrected

I suppose if the surgery is done perfectly then there should be little effect on the flexibility and compressive capability of the lens on the surrounding muscles to exert the necessary forces on it.

In my experiences with older people who've suffered cataracts though this is not the case and they often end up wearing glasses post surgery.

I refuse to accept that vision without the accomodative capability of the lens is as effective as with the accomodative capability of the lens. Futhermore, I refuse to accept that loss of lens functionality is the goal, nor the norm for cataract surgery.

 

Yes

Surely you don't buy into that unjustified prejudice?

It's just a hair colour.

 

That, my Ginger friend ...

... is possibly the most mind numbingly spacktastic post I have ever read.
It's about as interesting as Dillingers 'World Tour'.

And I was enjoying you getting under Dirk's skin. Fore.

 

Sorry, my mistake.

I meant educated.

 

lol

your original point was that accomodation provides clarity of image.

No it does not. Accomodation provides the ability to re-focus at closer distances. Post cataract patients for example these days, whether they need a spectacle prescription or not after the op can see clearly. They do not however, have any amplitude of accomodation.

Anyroad, my original point was that the mechanics of the eye can't all surely have stemmed from evolution ? If you want I'll dig out my textbooks and we'll have a right bore-athon this aft.


I'm off for me chips now.

 

Go for it

Though please do rememeber to state the author, their qualifications and use a conventionally accepted scientific referencing style.

 

''conventionally accepted scientific referencing style''

Will potato print do?

 

RE: lol

No it wasn't.

"It's fine having an eye with no accomodation capability if you frequently operate within a fixed visual source distance, such as if you're low to the ground, but once you want to see further or manipulate complex objects then you'd greatly benefit from focal adjustment."

Agreed. (Or further distances)

So how am I actually wrong?

 

I'll field this one, as I'm an expert.

You must be wrong - you are a carrot top.

Have you got some factor 50 on?

You ignorant and irritating wind up merchant.

It's a good job you do parody so well, otherwise we'd have to wonder why you bother.

That'd be when you first glanced at google............

 

RE: No I'm inside

What does parody mean?

Is that when Bill the birdwatcher equals the expected number of shots required on a specific hole on a golf course?

 

There was no looking at google you highly trained monkey you

No accomodation in the lens means you look at an object at the wrong focal distance and it focuses at a distance from the retina. Hence it appears blurry.

Do you disagre with the above statement?
