This is because the difference between usual and post-meal blood glucose levels is not as large as in diabetic cases of hypoglycemia. A crash is usually felt within four hours or less of heavy carbohydrate consumption. Symptoms of reactive or postprandial hypoglycemia include:
The transverse size of a human adult eye is approximately 24.2 mm and the sagittal size is 23.7 mm with no significant difference between sexes and age groups. Strong correlation was found between the transverse diameter and the width of the orbit (r = 0.88).
The young human eye can change focus from distance (infinity) to 6.7 cm from the eye in 350 milliseconds. This dramatic change in focal power of the eye of approximately 15 dioptres (the reciprocal of focal length in metres) occurs as a consequence of a reduction in zonular tension induced by ciliary muscle contraction. The amplitude of accommodation declines with age.
