Alluring fish-eye lenses, with varying levels of translucency and as large as 8 ft wide, the Orange County Museum of Art exhibits the parabolic lens works of Fred Eversley, who was a pioneer of the space and light movement. As a teenager, Fred took Jell-O and spun it on a turntable in his father’s laboratory basement. At the time, this experiment no doubt was inspired by Isaac Newton, who contributed to modern physics using his own trials with a bucket of water and rope. As a result of Fred Eversley’s moment of curiosity, it produced a concave hollow in the Jell-O that became his very first artwork (despite not knowing it then).
Fred pursued studies in engineering first, then sought to be an artist later on. He used his original experiment as a teen to inspire future ones that didn’t involve Jell-O, but instead liquid plastics in molds tinted with color. Fred would then spin them on modified turntables, creating parabolic forms that he polished by hand. The fish-eye lenses exhibited at the Orange County Museum of Art are worth a visit, and makes us think about our own eyes, and the impressiveness of perceptual phenomena.
The eye surgeons from Retina Associates of Orange County know just how incredible our own eyes are, with a transparent lens that bends or reflects light rays that enter the eye and allow us to see. But as people get into their older years, certain proteins tend to accumulate inside this lens, causing what used to be transparent to turn cloudy. Without light being able to enter the eye as we need, it can affect quality of vision. Our team is dedicated to correcting eye issues that require surgical procedure to amend. If you have an eye problem that is causing you stress, then you can rely on our eye surgeons for support. Signs that it’s time to visit an eye clinic for treatment include:
- Sudden vision disturbances (like flashes of light, obstructions, or floaters).
- Problems focusing, or blurry vision that developed suddenly.
- Headaches, eye strain, or eye pain (infrequent symptoms may not be cause for concern, but if they are recurring, see a doctor).
- Sensitivity to light that arose suddenly (this can indicate eye inflammation and could be a precursor to eye disease).
- Itchy, dry, or red eyes (which could be sign of dry eye syndrome or allergies)
- Frequent rubbing of eyes due to eye condition or allergies (excessive eye rubbing can increase chances of infection).
We can examine your eyes, diagnose potential conditions, and then recommend a care plan. We urge you to not ignore symptoms until they have worsened beyond tolerability. As soon as you begin having eye-related symptoms, it’s time to see a reputable eye care doctor. If you’d like to schedule a consultation with us so you can get treatment for vision issues, don’t hesitate to contact an eye surgeon Orange County residents trust from our clinic today.

We have consistently found him to be an excellent doctor, very knowledgeable, caring, and attentive to her needs. We also want to recognize how nice and helpful the staff is. On most visits, we hardly ever have to wait and the appointment is typically completed within about 30 minutes. Overall, the experience has been very smooth and reassuring for our family.
