It’s difficult to see in the dark. Unless there’s some light peeking in through the window or from under a door, our vision is compromised. If we wait a little while, our night vision kicks in, allowing us to see somewhat better. It’s not enough that we can read in the dark, but it should be enough to keep us from stumbling into furniture or tripping over the carpet. Sometimes though, our human night vision isn’t enough and we need a little help.

That’s where technology kicks in. Thanks to science we can use night vision to do all sorts of things. With the proper equipment we can hunt, take pictures or even fight wars in the dark. We can also perform surveillance and search and rescue missions.

Here’s how it works: Your night vision product will take existing light and amplify it through an objective lens, which then focuses on an image intensifier. A photocathode located inside the intensifier converts the photon energy into electrons. The electrons in turn strike a phosphor screen creating a viewable image. In reality it looks like you’re watching television on a green screen.

Atmospheric conditions can affect night vision. For instance, if it’s cloudy, foggy, or overcast, night vision can be compromised. The clearer the night, the farther one will be able to see with night vision technology. It should also be noted that night vision shouldn’t be magnified, as light is lost during the magnification process making it more difficult to see.

Night vision devices include:

- Cameras

- Binoculars

- Scopes for firearms

- Goggles

If you think that using a night vision device on a frequent basis might be harmful, you couldn’t be more wrong. Night vision products are no more harmful than a television or movie screen. It doesn’t emit radiation or other harmful rays and there’s no reason for it to cause blindness.

A Common Vision; Transforming Sales

I hear it often.

In the wonderful world of home parties, Beijo handbags have really made a name for themselves. You probably will not be able to find a Beijo bag anywhere but at a home party that your friend is having. And this is the way that Susan Handley wanted it to be. There are a few websites that offer these bags, but you really don’t know if you are getting an original, as with any high end bag. Having started designing from when she was a little girl, Susan knew from the start that she would have to be passionate in this business, and she is still the motivating factor in the company’s dealings today.

At the young age of ten, Susan Handley’s head was already spinning with creative ideas and concepts for her line of handbags and accessories. Even as she sat in her mother’s arms she would think of ways she could make the current purses on the market have a little more pop. That youthful creativity is still seen in her designs, and it seems that she has not lost that ageless zeal for design. Even though she was a single mom, struggling financially from week to week, she remained optimistic and vowed to follow her dreams.

This became realized when her father gave her a personal loan to start the business, and with the aid of her friends and loved ones the brand was born. Susan did not have an ounce of business experience, but this did not stop her from selling purses out of her car to get the ball rolling. Sometimes a humble beginning can turn into something much greater. Selling purses our of her car led her friends to ask about having home parties to sell the bags.

The name is actually the Portuguese word for “kiss”. After her son said “Beijo” as his second word, this soon became the inspiration for the brand name. It did not take long for the brand name to really take off, and after only 3 years she was selling thousands and thousands of handbags to more than just friends, and this time it was not out of the trunk of her car. More than one department store has asked to carry her brand in their stores, but over and over again, Susan has rejected the offers and stuck with the “home parties” business model.

It’s hard to say if this was a wise business decision or not, but Susan has no regrets about this path for the company. One of her main goals is to see women become more financially independent by starting their own business as Beijo associates. For many women this has become a career and not just a hobby that brought in extra money.

But the company is not just about profit. A portion of the proceeds from all the company sales go to reputable charities to support education and health. The Ronald McDonald House is one of the beneficiaries of Beijo sales, and there are many others as well.

Today there are all types of night vision goggles (NVG’s) and other forms of night vision equipment that a person can purchase. However when it comes to choosing what is right for you it is important that you read as many night vision goggles reviews as you can before you make your final purchase.

Not only can you purchase night vision goggles, but you can also get binoculars and night vision thermal cameras as well and all of these can now be readily brought by members of the general public either through a specialist retail store or online.

The first time that most people became aware of what night vision goggles and other night vision pieces of equipment were was during the first Gulf War in 1991. Many people quite clearly remember seeing pictures beamed into their homes showing sites as attacks took place in the dead of night and everything could be clearly seen as if it was daytime.

Most of the night vision goggles available today work in one of 2 ways. They either enhance the image that the person is seeing or they detect heat to produce a thermal image. Whilst there are even some more advanced versions of these goggles which now utilize both types of image enhancement to provide the wearer with a much clearer image and so their perception of what they see in front of them is much improved as well. Today even the most standard pair of goggles will enable the wearer to see someone or something that is over 250 feet away when it is completely dark.

Although most NVG’s are used by either the military or law enforcement agencies today, you can still purchase a pair for your own personal use. However it is important to note that the ones that are for sale to the general public are not of the same specification you would see being used by either the military or law enforcement agencies.

When you are looking to purchase a pair of NVG’s it is important to note that they are often denoted by a generation. Currently there are 4 generations of night vision goggles now available the oldest being Gen 1 the newest being Gen 4.

Certainly if you are looking for a very basic and affordable pair of NVG’s then it may be worth your while considering purchasing a pair of Gen 1. But with all of these types of goggles you will find that the main feature of them all is the light intensifier tube(s) which then allows a target to be seen by the person wearing them when it is dark.

It is important when reading any night vision goggles review that you look closely at the specifications that are offered as well as looking at the kind of optical lens package they come with and what additional features if any that they come with.

The advertisement for pin-hole glasses reads like a miracle. By using this product for just 30 minutes a day, you can supposedly improve your vision and throw away your eyeglasses or contact lenses.

This device, which looks like a pair of sunglasses, is an opaque disc dotted with rows of pin-holes. Its unique design can supposedly cure astigmatism, double vision, photophobia (sensitivity to light), and cataracts.

Testimonials abound about the product. One user claimed that after 20 minutes of using these spectacles, he could see perfectly and read signs across the street without eyeglasses.

A pair of pin-hole glasses is expensive which is probably a small amount to pay for those who desire to see clearly again. After all, dramatic results are hard to come by with conventional eyeglasses. Should we believe its promoters?

The idea behind pin-hole glasses is not new. It was known centuries ago and was used before the advent of glass lenses. The reason they work is simple.

“Light passing through a small hole (or holes) is restricted to rays coming straight from the viewed object; these rays do not need focusing to bring them to a point,” according to Drs. Russell S. Worrall and Jacob Nevyas in “The Health Robbers.”

Just look through any pin-hole and you’ll see what they mean. When you do this, blurred images become focused. This is because the amount of peripheral light rays (which are responsible for blurring) is reduced. With appropriately spaced multiple pin-holes, you’ll get clear straight vision without the difficulty of concentrating on a single hole.

But there are problems with this system. First, lateral vision is compromised. You can see clearly straight ahead but side vision is blurred and distant vision is dim. Multiple images may also form and confuse you.

“Monocularly, one could achieve a legible single image with appropriate adjustment of head position. When the second eye is opened, one cannot be certain that the pin-holes before that eye will be centered for that head position. As a result, one may get a single image in one eye but a doubled one in the other,” wrote Dr. Sidney Wittenberg in “Pin-hole Eyewear Systems: A Special Report” published in the Journal of the American Optometric Association.

“Modern promoters claim their products are better than conventional lenses. Actually, both reduce the focus effort needed to read, but pinhole glasses are much less useful because they restrict contrast, brightness, and the field of view. Worn as sunglasses, they can even be harmful because the holes allow damaging ultraviolet rays to reach the eye,” Worrall and Nevyas added.

Those who have benefited from pin-hole spectacles are, more often than not, people who wear the wrong eyeglasses. Naturally, replacing these with pin-hole glasses will make them see well.

If you don’t need eyeglasses but simply use them to improve your appearance or to hide those ugly eye bags and dark circles, switch to Eyevive instead. This powerful cream will revitalize your eyes to make you look young again. For details, check out http://www.eyevive.com
