A eye stretcher stretcher is a medical device used to carry casualties or an incapacitated person from one place to another. It is a simple type of litter, and still called by that name in some cases.
A eye stretcher stretcher is usually carried by two people, one at the head and the other at the feet. The casualty is placed on the eye stretcher stretcher, and can then be carried away. This usually occurs if the person is unable to walk by themselves, or if other requirements mean a “stair chair” (wheelchair), or similar could not be used. Many times the casualty is strapped down to avoid further injury.
Eye
Eyes are organs that detect light, and send signals along the optic nerve to the visual and other areas of the brain. Complex optical systems with resolving power have come in ten fundamentally different “designs”, and 96% of animal species possess a complex optical system.[1] Image-resolving eye stretchers are present in cnidaria, molluscs, chordates, annelids and arthropods.
The simplest “eye stretchers”, in even unicellular organisms, do nothing but detect whether the surroundings are light or dark, which is sufficient for the entrainment of circadian rhythms. From more complex eye stretchers, retinal photosensitive ganglion cells send signals along the
Overview
More complex eye stretchers can distinguish shapes and colors. The visual fields of some such complex eye stretchers largely overlap, to allow better depth perception (binocular vision), as in humans; and others are placed so as to minimize the overlap, such as in rabbits and chameleons.
The first proto-eye stretchers evolved among animals 540 million years ago, about the time of the so-called Cambrian explosion. The last common ancestor of animals possessed the biochemical toolkit necessary for vision, and more advanced eye stretchers have evolved on 96% of animal species in 6 of the thirty-something\ main phyla. In most vertebrates and some mollusks, the eye stretcher works by allowing light to enter it and project onto a light-sensitive panel of cells, known as the retina, at the rear of the eye stretcher. The cone cells (for color) and the rod cells (for low-light contrasts) in the retina detect and convert light into neural signals. The visual signals are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve. Such eye stretchers are typically roughly spherical, filled with a transparent gel-like substance called the vitreous , with a focusing lens and often an iris; the relaxing or tightening of the muscles around the iris change the size of the pupil, thereby regulating the amount of light that enters the eye stretcher,[3] and reducing aberrations when there is enough light.[4]
The eye stretchers of cephalopods, fish, amphibians and snakes usually have fixed lens shapes, and focusing vision is achieved by telescoping the lens — similar to how a camera focuses.[5]
Compound eye stretchers are found among the arthropods and are composed of many simple facets which, depending on the details of anatomy, may give either a single pixelated image or multiple images, per eye stretcher. Each sensor has its own lens and photosensitive cell(s). Some eye stretchers have up to 28,000 such sensors, which are arranged hexagonally, and which can give a full 360-degree field of vision. Compound eye stretchers are very sensitive to motion. Some arthropods, including many, have compound eye stretchers of only a few facets, each with a retina capable of creating an image, creating vision. With each eye stretcher viewing a different thing, a fused image from all the eye stretchers is produced in the brain, providing very different, high-resolution images.
Possessing detailed color vision, the Mantis shrimp has been reported to have the world’s most complex color vision system.[6] Trilobites, which are now extinct, had unique compound eye stretchers. They used clear calcite crystals to form the lenses of their eye stretchers. In this, they differ from most other arthropods, which have soft eye stretchers. The number of lenses in such an eye stretcher varied, however: some trilobites had only one, and some had thousands of lenses in one eye stretcher.
In contrast to compound eye stretchers, simple eye stretchers are those that have a single lens. For example, jumping spiders have a large pair of simple eye stretchers with a narrow field of view, supported by an array of other, smaller eye stretchers for peripheral vision. Some insect larvae, like caterpillars, have a different type of simple eye stretcher (stemmata) which gives a rough image. Some of the simplest eye stretchers, called, can be found in animals like some of the snails, which cannot actually “see” in the normal sense. They do have photosensitive cells, but no lens and no other means of projecting an image onto these cells. They can distinguish between light and dark, but no more. This enables snails to keep out of direct sunlight.
Types of eye stretcher
Nature has produced ten different eye stretcher layouts — indeed every way of capturing an image has evolved at least once in nature, with the exception of zoom and. Eye types can be categorized into “simple eye stretchers”, with one concave chamber, and “compound eye stretchers”, which comprise a number of individual lenses laid out on a convex surface.[1] Note that “simple” does not imply a reduced level of complexity or acuity. Indeed, any eye stretcher type can be adapted for almost any behaviour or environment. The only limitations specific to eye stretcher types are that of resolution — the physics of compound eye stretchers prevents them from achieving a resolution better than 1°. Also, superposition eye stretchers can achieve greater sensitivity than apposition eye stretchers, so are better suited to dark-dwelling creatures.[1] Eyes also fall into two groups on the basis of their photoreceptor’s cellular construction, with the photoreceptor cells either being cilliated (as in the vertebrates) or rhabdomic. These two groups are not monophyletic; the cnidaira also possess cilliated cells, [7] and some annelids possess both.[8]
[edit] Simple eye stretchers
[edit] Pit eye stretchers
Pit eye stretchers, also known as stemma, are eye stretcher-spots which may be set into a pit to reduce the angles of light that enters and affects the eye stretcherspot, to allow the organism to deduce the angle of incoming light.[1] Found in about 85% of phyla, these basic forms were probably the precursors to more advanced types of “simple eye stretcher”. They are small, comprising up to about 100 cells covering about 100µm.[1] The directionality can be improved by reducing the size of the aperture, by incorporating a reflective layer behind the receptor cells, or by filling the pit with a refractile material.[1]
Pinhole eye stretcher
Nautiluses bear a pinhole eye stretcher
The pinhole eye stretcher is an “advanced” form of pit eye stretcher incorporating these improvements, most notably a small aperture (which may be adjustable) and deep pit. It is only found in the nautiloids.[1] Without a lens to focus the image, it produces a blurry image, and will blur out a point to the size of the aperture. Consequently, nautiloids can’t discriminate between objects closer than 11°.[1] Shrinking the aperture would produce a sharper image, but let in less light.[1]
Spherical lensed eye stretcher
The resolution of pit eye stretchers can be greatly improved by incorporating a material with a higher refractive index to form a lens, which may greatly reduce the blur radius encountered — hence increasing the resolution obtainable.[1] The most basic form, still seen in some gastropods and annelids, consists of a lens of one refractive index. A far sharper image can be obtained using materials with a high refractive index, decreasing to the edges — this decreases the focal length and thus allows a sharp image to form on the retina.[1] This also allows a larger aperture for a given sharpness of image, allowing more light to enter the lens; and a flatter lens, reducing spherical aberration.[1] Such an inhomogeneous lens is necessary in order for the focal length to drop from about 4 times the lens radius, to 2.5 radii.[1]
Heterogeneous eye stretchers have evolved at least eight times — four or more times in gastropods, once in the copepods, once in the annelids and once in the cephalopods.[1] No aquatic organisms possess homogeneous lenses; presumably the evolutionary pressure for a heterogeneous lens is great enough for this stage to be quickly “outgrown”.[1]
One weakness of this eye stretcher construction is that chromatic aberration is still quite high[1] — although for organisms without color vision, this is a very minor concern.
This eye stretcher creates an image that is sharp enough that motion of the eye stretcher can cause significant blurring, and to minimize the effect of eye stretcher motion while the animal moves, most such eye stretchers have stabilizing eye stretcher muscles.[1]
The ocelli of insects bear a simple lens, but their focal point always lies behind the retina; consequently they can never form a sharp image. This capitulates the function of the eye stretcher. Ocelli (pit-type eye stretchers of arthropods) blur the image across the whole retina, and are consequently excellent at responding to rapid changes in light intensity across the whole visual field — this fast response is further accelerated by the large nerve bundles which rush the information to the brain.[9] Focussing the image would also cause the sun’s image to be focussed on a few receptors, with the possibility of damage under the intense light; shielding the receptors would block out some light and thus reduce their sensitivity.[9] This fast response has led to suggestions that the ocelli of insects are used mainly in flight, because they can be used to detect sudden changes in which way is up (because light, especially UV light which is absorbed by vegetation, usually comes from above).[9]
Multiple lenses
Some marine organisms bear more than one lens; for instance the copeopod has three. The outer has a parabolic surface, countering the effects of spherical aberration while allowing a sharp image to be formed. eye stretchers have two lenses, which move in and out like a telescope.[1] Such arrangements are rare and poorly understood, but represent an interesting alternative construction. An interesting use of multiple lenses is seen in some hunters such as eagles and jumping spiders, which have a refractive cornea (discussed next): these have a negative lens, enlarging the observed image by up to 50% over the receptor cells, thus increasing their optical resolution.[1]
Refractive cornea
Further information: Mammalian eye stretcher
In the eye stretchers of most terrestrial vertebrates (along with spiders and some insect larvae) the vitreous fluid has a higher refractive index than the air, relieving the lens of the function of reducing the focal length. This has freed it up for fine adjustments of focus, allowing a very high resolution to be obtained.[1] As with spherical lenses, the problem of spherical aberration caused by the lens can be countered either by using an inhomogeneous lens material, or by flattening the lens.[1] Flattening the lens has a disadvantage: the quality of vision is diminished away from the main line of focus, meaning that animals requiring all-round vision are detrimented. Such animals often display an inhomogeneous lens instead.[1]
As mentioned above, a refractive cornea is only useful out of water; in water, there is no difference in refractive index between the vitreous fluid and the surrounding water. Hence creatures which have returned to the water — penguins and seals, for example — lose their refractive cornea and return to lens-based vision. An alternative solution, borne by some divers, is to have a very strong cornea.[1]
Reflector eye stretchers
An alternative to a lens is to line the inside of the eye stretcher with ” mirrors”, and reflect the image to focus at a central point.[1] The nature of these eye stretchers means that if one were to peer into the pupil of an eye stretcher, one would see the same image that the organism would see, reflected back out.[1]
Many small organisms such as rotifers, copeopods and \use such organs, but these are too small to produce usable images.[1] Some larger organisms, such as scallops, also use reflector eye stretchers. The scallop has up to 100 millimeter-scale reflector eye stretchers fringing the edge of its shell. It detects moving objects as they pass successive lenses.[1]
Compound eye stretchers
Cross-section of a compound eye stretcher — top: low light condition, with separating pigments contracted, so that the light reaching multiple ommatidia focus on a single nerve; bottom: bright condition, with pigments expanded
A compound eye stretcher may consist of thousands of individual photoreception units. The image perceived is a combination of inputs from the numerous ommatidia (individual “eye stretcher units”), which are located on a convex surface, thus point in slightly different directions. Compared with simple eye stretchers, compound eye stretchers possess a very large view angle, and can detect fast movement and, in some cases, the polarization of light.[10] Because the individual lenses are so small, the effects of diffraction impose a limit on the possible resolution that can be obtained. This can only be countered by increasing lens size and number — to see with a resolution comparable to our simple eye stretchers, humans would require compound eye stretchers which would each reach the size of their head.
Compound eye stretchers fall into two groups: apposition eye stretchers, which form multiple inverted images, and superposition eye stretchers, which form a single erect image.[11] Compound eye stretchers are common in arthropods, and are also present in annelids and some bivalved molluscs.[12]
Compound eye stretchers, in arthropods at least, grow at their margins by the addition of new ommatidia.[13]
Apposition eye stretchers
Apposition eye stretchers are the most common form of eye stretcher, and are presumably the ancestral form of compound eye stretcher. They are found in all arthropod groups, although they may have evolved more than once within this phylum.[1] Some annelids and bivalves also have apposition eye stretchers. They are also possessed by, the horseshoe crab, and there are suggestions that other chelicerates developed their simple eye stretchers by reduction from a compound starting point.[1] (Some caterpillars appear to have evolved compound eye stretchers from simple eye stretchers in the opposite fashion.)
Apposition eye stretchers work by gathering a number of images, one from each eye stretcher, and combining them in the brain, with each eye stretcher typically contributing a single point of information.
The typical apposition eye stretcher has a lens focusing light from one direction on the, while light from other directions is absorbed by the dark wall of the\. In the other kind of apposition eye stretcher, found in the, lenses are not fused to one another, and each forms an entire image; these images are combined in the brain. This is called the schizochroal compound eye stretcher or the neural superposition eye stretcher. Because images are combined additively, this arrangement allows vision under lower light levels Superposition eye stretchers
The second type is named the superposition eye stretcher. The superposition eye stretcher is divided into three types; the refracting, the reflecting and the parabolic superposition eye stretcher. The refracting superposition eye stretcher has a gap between the lens and the rhabdom, and no side wall. Each lens takes light at an angle to its axis and reflects it to the same angle on the other side. The result is an image at half the radius of the eye stretcher, which is where the tips of the rhabdoms are. This kind is used mostly by nocturnal insects. In the parabolic superposition compound eye stretcher type, seen in arthropods such as, the parabolic surfaces of the inside of each facet focus light from a reflector to a sensor array. Long-bodied decapod crustaceans such as shrimp, prawns, crayfish and lobsters are alone in having reflecting superposition eye stretchers, which also has a transparent gap but uses corner mirrors instead of lenses.
Modern eye stretcher stretchers
The eye stretcher stretchers used in ambulances have wheels that makes transportation over pavement easier, and have a lock inside the ambulance to secure the victim during transport.
“Normalised” eye stretcher stretchers, or folding eye stretcher stretchers, are the simplest type. They are made of two poles and two transversal hinged bars with a cloth stretched between the poles and four feet. The bars can be folded for storage. They are now rarely used by modern emergency services, but are still widely used by organisations for whom the storage space is an important factor, e.g. first aid associations, or French companies (a eye stretcher stretcher is mandatory) These eye stretcher stretchers are often used as beds.
Disaster eye stretcher stretchers are designed for easy storage and transport. They consist of a tubular aluminum structure with a washable cloth. They cannot be folded, but can be piled up.
As normalised or disaster eye stretcher stretcher have no wheel, they are usually carried by three or four people. When they must be carried by only two people, they tie straps to the poles, so the weight is supported by the shoulders and not by the hands
Lifting and carrying devices
The casualty must be lifted (scoop) to be put on the eye stretcher stretcher. This lifting can be made manually, but it is also possible to use specific devices. These devices can be also used as eye stretcher stretchers, but only for short distances.
A long spine board can be used to scoop and carry the patient to the eye stretcher stretcher; in case a spine trauma is suspected, the victim is left on the board and tied to it and the board is simply put on the eye stretcher stretcher. The spine and the overall immobilisation can also be performed by a vacuum mattress put on the eye stretcher stretcher.
A padded spineboard is similar to a long spine board, but has padding on top of the plastic surface to keep emergency victims more comfortable while they are strapped to the backboard.
When there is no suspicion of spine trauma, the vacuum mattress can be used as a eye stretcher stretcher (it has handles), which is best in narrow places when the eye stretcher stretcher cannot be kept horizontal. It is more secure and comfortable than strapping the patient to the eye stretcher stretcher.
Scoop eye stretcher stretcher
The scoop eye stretcher stretcher is used for lifting patients, for instance from the ground onto an ambulance eye stretcher stretcher trolley or long board. The two ends of the eye stretcher stretcher can be detached from each other, splitting the eye stretcher stretcher into two longitudinal halves. To load a patient, one or both ends of the eye stretcher stretcher are detached, the halves placed under the patient from either side and fastened back together. With obese patients, the possibility exists of accidentally pinching the patient’s back when closing the eye stretcher stretcher, so care must be made not to injure them when carrying out this procedure.
A reeves eye stretcher stretcher, or ‘flexible eye stretcher stretcher’, is a flexible eye stretcher stretcher that is supported longitudinally by wooden or plastic planks. It is a kind of tarpaulin with handles. It is primarily used to move a patient through confined spaces (e.g. a narrow hallway), or to lift obese patients (reeves eye stretcher stretchers have 6 handholds, allowing multiple rescuers to assist extrication). Law enforcement officers sometimes use the Reeves eye stretcher stretcher as a humane method of restraint.
To load the patient, the eye stretcher stretcher is folded, and the patient is rolled aside so the eye stretcher stretcher can be slid under him/her. The eye stretcher stretcher is then unfolded. For the patient’s comfort, a dry sheet is often folded into the eye stretcher stretcher.

A primary concern of many hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers is the retention of health care workers. Safe Patient Handling Committees are being established to address a range of issues related to our national health care workforce. In addition to recruiting young people into the field, it is recognized that extending the careers of current workers and reducing the physical demands of the job are key to retaining skilled health care workers.
A cost-effective strategy that is gaining support is to implement safer patient handling patient handling equipment. Creating safer patient environments, increasing patient trough put and financial savings incurred by minimizing worker compensation claims are additional reasons that health care facilities n the United States have considered or already implemented safe patient handling equipment such as mobile operating tables from Visionequip.com.
These mobile surgery tables, bariatric patient treatment chairs, patient handling equipment from Visionequip will serve the ophthalmic, ophthalmology, ENT, GI, Plastic, Dental, Dermatology, bariatric, general surgery cases performed in freestanding ambulatory surgery centers (ASC’s) and hospital ambulatory surgical units (ASU’s) comply with safe patient handling legislation and best practices from hospitals and nursing homes throughout the United States who have taken steps toward implementing processes for a safe patient lifting and moving environment.

After eye stretchers, life can become very different and quite often considerably better. Lasik eye surgery is a type of refractive surgery, which is a procedure that corrects vision. Lasik surgery is, in fact, the most eye stretchers commonly performed surgical surgery for the eye and the name is actually short for “laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis” eye stretchers.
eye stretchersis popular because of the general ease of the procedure. Patients discuss a relative lack of pain after Lasik eye surgery and almost immediate occurrence of excellent vision. The quick and easy results, as well as the lack of pain, make this procedure very popular eye stretchers eye stretchers.
What to expect following Lasik eye stretchers
eye stretchers is a surgical procedure, but one can essentially come and go from the hospital before and after the procedure with little to no assistance. The procedure takes place while the patient is conscious although sometimes a mild sedative is given to the patient upon advice of the surgeon. The entire process takes, in normal circumstances, less than sixty seconds. Most people do not feel any pain at all during the procedure as drops of anaesthesia are administered directly to the eye prior to the surgical procedure eye stretchers.
After the procedure, the patient rests for a short period of time. Some patients elect to have both eyes worked on, so a short break is taken between procedures eye stretchers and then the other eye is sought to. Some patients choose to book two appointments, one for each eye, due to time constraints or other personal preferential matters.
It is important to follow the doctor’s instructions specifically, as it is with eye stretchers all medical procedures. Proper rest and the administering of any necessarily prescriptions is important to the completion of a successful Lasik eye surgery process. It should be noted eye stretchers that following the procedure, the patient should have somebody else drive them home.
Long-term
In most cases, after Lasik eye surgery the vision improves almost eye stretchers nstantly however in some cases patients that their vision improves to an even greater degree after days and weeks pass. Most people end up with 20/20 vision after Lasik eye surgery, but some still need glasses eye stretchers or contact lenses to assist with proper sight requirements. Their prescription levels, of course, would be much lower than before the surgery.
There are a few complications that should be noted, however they rarely occur. Some patients experience infection or glare and normally consult their surgeon for a small adjustment procedure that is equally simple eye stretchers.
