This document discusses various tests used to evaluate macular function, including psychophysical and electrophysiological tests. Psychophysical tests include visual acuity tests, Amsler grid, photostress testing, and two-point discrimination. Electrophysiological tests include ERG, EOG, and VEP. Special tests are used to evaluate macular function in eyes with opaque media, such as laser interferometry, potential visual acuity meter, and entoptic phenomena observation. Microperimetry allows precise correlation of retinal sensitivity with fundus details. No single test evaluates all aspects of macular function, so multiple tests are often used.
Laser technology has many applications in ophthalmology. The first laser used was a ruby laser in 1960. Common lasers used include argon, Nd:YAG, and diode lasers which are selected based on their wavelength absorption properties. Lasers are used for procedures like posterior capsulotomy, retinal photocoagulation, glaucoma treatments like ALT and SLT, and laser peripheral iridotomies. The interaction of laser light with tissue can cause effects like photocoagulation, photodisruption, photoablation and photoactivation which underlie different clinical applications. Precise parameters are needed to achieve the desired effect safely and effectively for each procedure and laser type.
UBM and ASOCT provide high-resolution cross-sectional images of the anterior segment including the cornea, anterior chamber, angle, and iris. ASOCT uses optical coherence tomography with a wavelength of 1310nm for improved penetration and reduced retinal damage compared to posterior segment OCT. It allows high-speed imaging of dynamic structures. ASOCT has applications in assessing corneal diseases and procedures, glaucoma (including angle anatomy and iridotomy evaluation), and intraocular lens implantation. Measurements of angle width parameters help evaluate angle closure risk. While valuable for objective angle assessment, ASOCT cannot image all anatomical structures involved in glaucoma.

This document discusses asynchronous computer chips as an alternative to traditional synchronous chips. Synchronous chips rely on a central clock, which poses problems like slow speed, wasted energy distributing the clock globally, and high power consumption from the clocks themselves. Asynchronous chips do not use a central clock and instead rely on handshake signals between components to transfer data only when needed. They allow different parts to work at different speeds and immediately pass results. While asynchronous chips have advantages like lower power usage and less noise, challenges remain in interfacing them with synchronous devices and a lack of expertise and tools available. Overall, the document argues that asynchronous chips may help address future issues with clocked designs as chip complexity increases.

Volatile and Non Voloatile Memory in DFS.pptxNivya George
Memory in computing is categorized into volatile and non-volatile types based on whether it retains data when power is lost.
Volatile memory is a type of temporary storage that requires continuous power to maintain the stored information. Once the system is turned off or restarted, all data in volatile memory is erased. It is primarily used for storing data that the CPU needs quick access to while performing tasks. The most common example is RAM (Random Access Memory), which provides fast, temporary storage for active processes and applications.
Non-volatile memory, on the other hand, retains data even when the power is turned off. It is used for long-term storage of programs, files, and system information. Examples include ROM (Read-Only Memory), hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), and USB flash drives. Non-volatile memory is essential for booting up the system and preserving data over time.
Together, volatile and non-volatile memory play crucial roles in the functionality and performance of computing devices, balancing speed and permanence.

The human eye is a complex organ responsible for vision, composed of various structures working together to capture and process light into images. The key components include the sclera, cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, optic nerve, and various fluids like aqueous and vitreous humor. The eye is divided into three main layers: the fibrous layer (sclera and cornea), the vascular layer (uvea, including the choroid, ciliary body, and iris), and the neural layer (retina).
Here's a more detailed look at the eye's anatomy:
1. Outer Layer (Fibrous Layer):
Sclera:
The tough, white outer layer that provides shape and protection to the eye.
Cornea:
The transparent, clear front part of the eye that helps focus light entering the eye.
2. Middle Layer (Vascular Layer/Uvea):
Choroid:
A layer of blood vessels located between the retina and the sclera, providing oxygen and nourishment to the outer retina.
Ciliary Body:
A ring of tissue behind the iris that produces aqueous humor and controls the shape of the lens for focusing.
Iris:
The colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil, regulating the amount of light entering the eye.
Pupil:
The black opening in the center of the iris that allows light to enter the eye.
3. Inner Layer (Neural Layer):
Retina:
The light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that converts light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the optic nerve.
Optic Nerve:
A bundle of nerve fibers that carries visual signals from the retina to the brain.
4. Other Important Structures:
Lens:
A transparent, flexible structure behind the iris that focuses light onto the retina.
Aqueous Humor:
A clear, watery fluid that fills the space between the cornea and the lens, providing nourishment and maintaining eye shape.
Vitreous Humor:
A clear, gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina, helping maintain eye shape.
Macula:
A small area in the center of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision.
Fovea:
The central part of the macula with the highest concentration of cone cells, providing the sharpest vision.
These structures work together to allow us to see, with the light entering the eye being focused by the cornea and lens onto the retina, where it is converted into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain for interpretation.
he eye sits in a protective bony socket called the orbit. Six extraocular muscles in the orbit are attached to the eye. These muscles move the eye up and down, side to side, and rotate the eye.
The extraocular muscles are attached to the white part of the eye called the sclera. This is a strong layer of tissue that covers nearly the entire surface of the eyeball.he layers of the tear film keep the front of the eye lubricated.
Tears lubricate the eye and are made up of three layers. These three layers together are called the tear film. The mucous layer is made by the conjunctiva. The watery part of the tears is made by the lacrimal gland

3. Introduction
• In the current scenario, where over millions of people are
affected by visual anomalities, it was with a challenge that this
project came into being.
• It aims at restoring vision to the blind.
• Today, high-tech resources in microelectronics, Optoelectronic,
computer science, biomedical engineering and also in vitreo
retinal surgery are working together to realize a device for the
electrical stimulation of the visual system.
4. What is artificial eye?
• An ocular prosthesis or artificial eye is a type of craniofacial
prosthesis that replaces an absent natural eye following an
enucleation, evisceration, or orbital exenteration.
• The prosthesis fits over an orbital implant and under the
eyelids.
5. The History of Artificial Eyes
• Prior to World War II, ocular prosthetics were made of
specialized blown glass that collapsed to form a concave
shape.
• During and after World War II this glass became increasing
difficult to obtain. Soon, acrylic and other plastic polymers
were being used for many of the uses previously exclusive to
glass.
• An exciting use of this new material was for artificial eyes, or
ocular prosthetics. Acrylic revolutionized the art and process
of making ocular prosthetics.
6. How eyes work?
• The light coming from an object enters the eye through cornea and pupil.
• The eye lens converges these light rays to form a real, inverted and
diminished image on the retina.
• The light sensitive cells of the retina get activated with the incidence of
light and generate electric signals.
7. Visual System
• The human visual system is remarkable instrument.
• It features two mobile acquisition units each has formidable
preprocessing circuitry placed at a remote location from the
central processing system (brain).
• Its primary task include transmitting images with a viewing
angle of at least 140deg and resolution of 1 arc min over a
limited capacity carrier, the million or so fibers in each optic
nerve through these fibers the signals are passed to the so
called higher visual cortex of the brain.
10. Human Eye Conditions
• The purpose of this section is to provide some background on
human eye conditions that can lead to vision loss and eye
removal.
• Anatomy of the eye
• 3 types of eye removal
• Orbital eye implants
• Possible conditions leading to an artificial eye
• Possible conditions leading to a scleral shell
• Eye care specialists
• Leading causes of eye loss in childen
12. Three Types of Eye Removal
• EVISCERATION- removal of the inner eye contents, iris and
cornea; leaving the sclera behind with the extraocular muscles
still attached.
• ENUCLEATION- removal of the eyeball, leaving the
remaining orbital contents intact; extraocular muscles are
detached and typically reattached to an orbital implant or fat
graft. Indications: tumors, infections, blind painful eye, severe
trauma. An artificial eye is fit following this eye surgery.
• EXENTERATION- removal of the contents of the eye socket
(orbit) including the eyeball, fat, muscles and other adjacent
structures of the eye.
13. Possible Conditions Leading to an Artificial Eye
• ENUCLEATION
• BLIND, PAINFUL EYE

14. Conclusion and Future Scope
• The application of the research work done is directed towards
the people who are visually impaired.
• People suffering from low vision to, people who are
completely blind will benefit from this project.
• The findings regarding biocompatibility of implant materials
will aid in other similar attempts for in human machine
interface.
