In order to function, the eye needs light. Light, usually reflected by objects, enters the front of the
eye through the cornea. Behind the cornea is the lens. It is the cornea which does most of the
focusing, but the lens which fine-tunes the focusing and enables the eye to vary its focus. An image
is formed by the cornea and lens on the retina, at the back of the eye. The most light-sensitive part
of the retina is a tiny spot called the macula and this is where your vision is at its sharpest. Due to
the laws of optics, the image formed on the retina is actually upside-down; it is the brain which
adjusts it to make it appear the right way up.

This document is an ad from Flinn Scientific Inc., which deals with vision prevention.
On this picture, on the right, we can see a woman, who is wearing sunglasses and has a white stick.
This woman is probably called Carol, and we can guess she is blind because of the white stick.
Indeed, the catchphrase explains that she never wore her safety glasses, and that now, she does not
need protective glasses anymore. So, maybe she had an accident, and her eyes were injured in the
accident because she did not respect the security rules.
So, this ad wants shock people and to make aware us of the dangers for our eyes. It's very
important to take care of our eyes. For example, it is crucial to wear safety glasses to have
protection in our jobs, or at home, or when we do sport, because if Carol had worn her safety
goggles, she would probably not be blind today.
People should also protect their eyes with sunglasses against the sun because the rays can be very
damaging for the eyes.
