Viking navigation from Norway to America in the northern latitudes remains a mystery for physicists, historians and archaeologists. Polarimetric methods using absorbing dichroic crystals as polarizers to detect a hidden Sun direction using the polari

Unlike humans, numerous animals are differentially sensitive to the vector orientation of linearly polarized light. However as early as 1844 Haidinger noted that weak blue–yellow brushes appear, centered on the fovea, when the sky is observed throu

In 1932/1933, Walter Stanley Stiles and Brian Hewson Crawford, sought to measure the area of the entrance pupil of their subject's eyes. They assumed all portions of the entrance pupil of the eye contributed equally to visual excitation. Their pupill

There are rather few articles which, so-to-speak, serve to change the landscape in a scientific field. One of those was the discovery of the "directional sensitivity of the retina" by Walter Stanley Stiles and Brian Hewson Crawford (first reported in

Myopia (short-sightedness/near-sightedness) is widespread and is increasing rapidly worldwide! We study a common, but rarely considered complication of high myopia known as nasal myopic super-traction (or super-involution), or encroachment of the ret

Related recent studies are brought together; 38% of high myopes with corrections = −5.00 D or greater exhibit separation and displacement of retina (less nerve fibre layer) and choroid from moorings on the nasal optic nerve, and the displaced tissu

The primary objective of the paper is to review histories of early known mirrors and lenses. Squinting/pinholes/slit apertures provided initial visual enhancements; quiet pools of water served as early mirrors. Manufactured mirrors appeared during th

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to consider the ancient history and early development of mirrors, because mirrors played a key role in refraction and magnification for an extended period of time before the invention of spectacles, including bro
