    When I had my first pair of glasses for correcting my near sight (myopia, in scientific talk) four years ago, I was intrigued by lenses.  I wondered how those small pieces of transparent material helped my eyes.  As I searched for information about lenses, I got more and more amazed at them.

    In this project, I focus the discussion on how different types of lenses correct various eye disorders and how they empower our eyes with the ability of seeing the worlds that are invisible to the naked eye.  I also list some interesting historical facts about lenses.  Finally, I would like to let you try a quiz I developed myself.
