When Should I Go To Ophthalmologist..!
How To Care About My Contact Lenses..!
Contact lenses can
prevent nearsightedness
from getting worse.
True
False
False.
Some people have
been led to
believe that wearing contact lenses will permanently correct
nearsightedness,
so that eventually
they won't need either
contacts or
eyeglasses.
There is no
evidence that wearing
contact lenses
produces a permanent
improvement in
vision or prevents
nearsightedness
from getting worse.
Eyes can be transplanted.
True
False
False.
Medical science has
no way to
transplant whole eyes. Our eyes are
connected to the
brain by the optic nerve.
The
optic nerve is made up of more than one million tiny nerve fibers. This
nerve cannot
be "reconnected" once it
has been severed.
Because of this, the
eye is never
removed from its socket
during surgery.
