The Eye and Light Refraction study from 1899
In a discussion on optics and glasses fitting, the article explains how light refracts through glass and lenses, detailing the dioptric media of the eye, cornea, aqueous humor, crystalline lens, and vitreous humor, and describes hyperopia and myopia as well as accommodation by the ciliary muscle, with notes on retinal focus and eye nerves. It includes a historical letter from Major D. W. Figgins on regimental colors, memorial day reflections, and Boise Women’s contributions to the Idaho First Infantry flag.
