Excerpt from The Human Eye: Its Optical Construction Popularly Explained
The novel views in this little work respecting sub aqueous vision, air lenses, and visual accommodation were first promulgated in two pamphlets, entitled, Notes on the Dioptrics of Vision,' and 'the Mechanism of Accommodation,' published in 1871 and 1872. They were also explained in lectures delivered in 1871 before the Sunday Lecture Society and in 1872 at the Sunday Evenings for the People. Again, in August 1872, the Author read a paper at.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a novel and groundbreaking exploration of subaqueous vision, air lenses, and visual accommodation. Delving into a realm of optics traditionally dominated by glass lenses, the author unveils the remarkable potential of air as an optical medium. Through ingenious experiments, the author demonstrates that employing double concave air lenses immersed in water can effectively restore perfect vision for divers, a feat previously thought impossible. This discovery opens up new possibilities for underwater exploration and activities. Moreover, the author challenges the conventional understanding of the eye's crystalline lens, providing evidence that it serves primarily as a supplementary lens, with the cornea and aqueous humor forming the chief lens of the eye. This unique perspective sheds new light on the intricate workings of the human eye. The book's insights not only advance our understanding of optics but also have practical implications for the development of innovative optical instruments and the treatment of visual impairments.
