How to Recognize Mange in Pet Dogs
My Min Pin - Buzz
Does My Pet Have Mange?
Let me begin by saying I had a very strange conception of mange. I thought only stray dogs in poor countries got mange. Obviously, I was very wrong. I've read articles here and there but again, I'm one of those people who thought, "Not my dog"! Wrong again. What I need to realize most is my Min Pin Buzz is prone to everything that comes along together with some stuff you've never heard of!
It's not like mange is a new disease or that its one you never hear of. The thing is, I had no idea just how prevalent it can be! My vet said he treats several cases a year. Now I know in a good vets practice that's not a large percentage; however, it is much more than I would ever have dreamed!
What Is Mange?
Exactly what is mange? Well, it is said to be a skin disease, but I find fault with that description. The resulting skin disease is very obvious, but these tiny mites burrow deep into the skin of the animal and take up residence. They lay eggs and then their eggs hatch and lay more eggs. While this vicious cycle of procreation is taking place, the animal, in this case, my dog, begins to itch.
The itch is said to be extremely intense and unnerving. Having watched my poor dog scratching almost non-stop, I can only imagine how he must've been suffering. As the dog scratches the itch, the skin becomes inflamed, then infected. Sores can form then become crusted, and in most cases, patches of hair begin to fall out.
According to the ASCPA, there are many different types of mites, some of which live on your dog without causing harm. However, the culprits here are light-colored and oval. Not that you'd ever see them.
Surprisingly there are three different types of mange. One type, is when the mites are only seen in small areas or patches. You may notice bald spots occurring on the dog's face or neck. This type of mange is often seen in puppies and surprisingly will resolve itself without any treatment. The interesting thing here is the puppy probably got those mites from its mother who shows no signs and/or has no problems.
The second type, Generalized demodectic mange, which is what I believe my dog has, can affect the dog's whole body. Secondary infections erupt from all the itching and broken skin. Patches of hair falling out can either be small or large and located anywhere on the body. This type of mange can also be an indication of an autoimmune problem in the system, a problem with the endocrine system, a hereditary issue, or other underlying health condition.
The third type is confined to the foot and is very difficult to diagnose.
Is it contagious? Like many other things, it depends on who you ask. Some say yes, any animal can get these mites from an infected animal. Others say if your dog is healthy, his body can deal with the mites and contagion won't be an issue. The more important issue to some is, can humans get those mites? Again, the answers are mixed, but my vet believes the answer is yes.
When a human gets those mites it is called scabies, not mange, though they are the same mites. I have to add, Buzz sleeps in bed with my husband and I, and to date, thankfully, neither of us have been infected. However, we know there is contagion, or there wouldn't be mange! These little mites jump from animal to animal. Some animals do not become infected because of their constitution or resistance. Others obviously do. These mites can only live for 36 hours without a warm body.
Have You Ever Had a Dog with Mange?
Dogs Prone to Mange
- Puppies under 18 months old
- Collies
- Old English Sheepdogs
- Shar Peis
- Dobermans
- Boxers
- Shih-Tzus
- Lhasa Apsos
Do not try to treat mange on your own. Always seek medical treatment from a veterinarian.
Treatment of Mange
Always seek a veterinarian's diagnosis. Don't try to treat mange on your own no matter how many things you read about home remedies or natural treatments. If your dog has had an allergic reaction and his skin is broken out, you must get the proper medicine to rid him of those miserable mites.
- First, a diagnosis is necessary. Sadly, skin scrapings are taken from the dog. Skin scrapings that make the skin bleed so that it can be examined under a microscope for mites.
- Mites are not always found in skin scrapings, so the dog is treated for mange anyway if he has all the symptoms. After two weeks if there is no improvement, it is most likely not mange, and further tests are required.
- One of the most effective medications used is Ivermectin. That is the medication my dog is being treated with.
- Another course is the flea and tick treatment Revolution. The normally once monthly application needs to be increased to two times a week.
- An antibiotic will often be given to control skin infection.
Always follow through with whatever treatment your Vet recommends. Never stop the medication because the dog looks or appears better. Finish the medication and follow up with your Vet, the last thing you want is to have your poor dog start all over again!
Mange in the Wild
Dogs are certainly not the only animals that suffer from mange. As a matter of fact, dogs can be infected with mange by wild animals they encounter. For example, my vet told me of a man whose dog had mange and no matter what they did they couldn't get rid of it. One night, the owner saw a fox rubbing up against his fence post. The next day he observed his dog rubbing up against the same fence post (remember the mites live for 36 hours). The owner shot the mangy fox, replaced the fence post and his dog never had mange again!
The list of animals that are susceptible to mange is practically endless, here are just a few:
- Foxes
- Squirrels
- Rabbits (the suspected culprit for my dog's mange)
- Coyotes
- Lions
- Mountain Gorillas
In the wild, animals are obviously not treated for mange and as a result, many die from this debilitating disease.
Now What?
Hopefully, this is a 'disease' you will never encounter. If you do, though, get your pet to a vet and follow his directions to the letter. Once under control, the itching will stop, and in a matter of weeks, the mites will be gone!
Feed your dog the best dog foods and supplements if needed. A strong immune system is your best prevention. Using Revolution tea and flick medication may help with some dogs as well. Whatever you do, good luck. Always try to keep your pet safe and healthy.
This article is accurate and true to the best of the author's knowledge. It is not meant to substitute for diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, prescription, or formal and individualized advice from a veterinary medical professional. Animals exhibiting signs and symptoms of distress should be seen by a veterinarian immediately.

The pet lover in me is sharing this again!
Hi Mary I read your comment on itching and came over to read this. I wanted to point out several things you might want to change. If you want to delete this comment I promise not to be offended.
Mange is just a generic term. Either your dog has sarcoptes or demodex.If it is sarcoptes, it is contagious to humans and she can have picked it up from a fox. If you suspect your dog has demodectic mange, it is not contagious to people and Buzz did not pick it up from a wildn
Interesting hub. My dog has never had mange (knock wood), but it looks nasty. We do have lots of bunnies and Max does like to chase them so hopefully he never catches anything like this. Our dogs...we love them, but boy can they be a pain sometimes. Like you I always thought mange was something street type dogs got.
Mange? This is the first I'm hearing of this disease. We don't have a dog, but my daughter love to pet and hug the neighbors dogs, and pretty much every dog that is walked in the neighborhood.
I'm sure glad your Buzz is doing okay. Certainly hope he doesn't get it again.
Voted up and interesting.
I'm glad your Buzz got through that. My little shih tzu mix has scratching fits now and then, but he has never been diagnosed with mange. I know that small white dogs have sensitive skin, so maybe it's just the heat right now. I don't know. It's awful when the poor things are miserable with scratching. Thanks for sharing your story and the symptoms. I'll keep an eye on my boy. :-)
I thought my dog had mange once, but she was allergic to fleas and scratched herself silly. Very informative article! Buzz is a cutie!
I've seen stray dogs, like the one in the picture from Bali,with this disease and I had no idea it was called mange and the facts related to this disease. Useful and interesting information as I'll need to keep it in mind as I have a pet dog.
Voted up, interesting and useful.
What a cutey pie your Buzz is! I had heard of mange before, but didn't know what it was. That photo of the street dog in Bali is heartbreaking.
I was surprised at how easy it is for our canine friends to pick up these nasty mites. And scabies are their cousins. Yucky. This is a very informative hub, Mary. I learned quite a bit. The photos of you, your hubby, and Buzz are lovely. Buzz is a lucky little fellow. :-)
I hope that Buzz is feeling better soon, poor little guy!
Poor Buzz. Hope he gets well soon. Had never heard about this but I suppose it probably common among stray dogs. We are cat people nevertheless we have our problems too. Every summer when the temps go up our cat Sid loves to stay in the garden day and night. Result of which he gets pimples by his tail and around his ears. He then licks himself so much. We have lotion for soothing it but its something which lasts the summer then goes away once fall arrives. Sid sends sympathetic meows to Buzz.
Mary, I forgot to mention what a cutie Buzz is, and those pictures of you and family members are precious. Our dogs are considered members of the family and I can remember so many who have traveled through this way as we live out in the sticks. There is a road near us that is actually named "Dog Drop Road". Some folks take that literally. We've had all kinds of stray dogs from Labradors, Dalmations, Golden Retrievers, Chows and Great Danes. It is always a shock to find them.
What a sweet photo, Mary, of you and adoring Buzz. Do hope your lovable Min Pin is well on the road to recovery. Like you, I thought mange was a disease only stray animals contracted. Thanks for enlarging my education.
I haven't come across this but I can understand how pets can suffer. Sorry your poor pooch has this and hope it's better. Great info to have as a pet owner. Voted up and will share.
What a tiresome affliction mange is and drives the poor dogs insane with the itching. This interesting and useful hub with benefit many I am sure. Your Min Pin is gorgeous Mary; looking jus like a mini Doberman. Voted up and shared.
Enjoy your weekend.
Poor lil Buzz. Hope he can get rid of this condition for good. Some dogs are more sensitive than others and pick things up much easier. And some dogs are tough, and they never seem to get sick even though no one is taking care of them.
There are lots of myths associated with Mange. For instance, my father says if the dog sits before fire he will catch Mange. Like you I also believed stray dogs in poor country have Mange. (Nepal is one of the poor countries. LOL)
Oh, poor Buzz. That is not good at all. We've rescued a few dogs in the neighborhood who had the mange and our vet cautioned us that it is highly contagious to other pets and even humans. One little guy we found, a 6 month old lab who weighed 14 pounds, had been on his own for way too long. He had a well developed case of Sarcoptic mange and we had to keep him isolated from our gang for 6 weeks with injections of Ivermectin every week. Luckily, one of the vet techs lived near me and offered to stop in and give him a weekly shot. That saved quite a bit in vet bills. They said that the mites which cause mange are related to arachnids (spiders).
I hope little Buzz gets over his ailment soon. So itchy.
Great hub ..Mary to be informed is essential to being a better person and you are doing a great job of helping all of animal lovers with this hub. Voted up !
I don't think I have ever had to deal with this, Mary, but thanks for the heads up. We have three mutts who we adore, so it's always good to have this information for future use.
Just a heads up....I'm featuring you in my hub on Wednesday...don't want you to miss it. :)
Have a great weekend!
Dearest Mary,
Aw, your poor baby. I am sorry he was suffering with such. We do have rabbits running about here too, and so thank you for providing such insightful information as to the mange. I have never really understood what mange is until now.
Love your wonderful photos of your sweet Buzz.
Voted up ++++ and sharing
Hugs to you and your sweet baby,
Faith Reaper
Aw, I really feel for you and your handsome Buzz.
With my all time allergy dog, Bella, it is always a fight, though she does heal better now that I changed her diet and give her fish oil. And give her baths with baby shampoo.
Right now with all the rain we are getting, I guess it's the rain, is causing havoc on her otherwise pretty coat. But as I said she heals better. Last time I took her to the vet for help, she had tears running down her eyes. You know she was miserable and I really felt for her.
One thing the vet said-well this is pollen-wise, but may help Buzz, the beautiful creature that he is, is when Bella comes back in from outside, use baby wipes or a damp washcloth and clean her paws and around her face.
Aw, give Buzz a hug for me. And yourself, be strong. I know the feeling of helplessness.
Our friends have a Pit Bull and they have been fighting mange with him for a long time. They can't seem to get rid of the one spot. They are constantly taking him to the vet. We once got a Great Dane puppy and the vet insisted we take her back because he was sure she had mange. We weren't going to take her back and in a week it was all cleared up so I think the vet was wrong. Mange wouldn't go away that fast.
Your dog is so cute. Voted up and shared.
Ack, this happened to Cloudy just a few months ago. Pet owners, be aware of burrowing mites. :(
Your Buzz is so handsome! You and he remind me of my relationship with Baby, my Min Schnauzer. Baby is my "empty nest" dog and get only the best of everything.
I have seen some bad cases of Mange when I helped Doc in his Vet clinic. Most of his clients were country folks, and Doc would just roll his eyes when the owner of the dog with Mange told him what he had treated the dog with! One guy brought his dog in all covered with engine oil cause that's one of the "treatments".
Voted UP and shared.
Very informative Mary. We have not had to deal with this yet with our Shih Tzu but certainly we now know what to look for. Buss is a handsome guy. Cute bunny also. I didn't realize that our pets could get mange from a rabbit. Great job as usual. Voted up, shared, pinned, etc... Have a great weekend.
Hi, Mary!
Our cat, Kona, scratches his head incessantly, and I notice a couple of bald spots as a result. First, I thought he was just flattering me with a pretty good imitation. But after reading your article, I wonder if cats can acquire mange as well by the same kind of mite or a close cousin to it. Also, what is a min pin? Very interesting topic, Mary, and I know that it's one dear to you because it affects your empty nest child. I mean that with all due respect because I find myself calling Kona "Son" every now and then. Nice pictures of hubby and you, by the way. Thank you for sharing, Mary, and I hope you and your loved ones, including Buzz, have a beautiful weekend! Aloha!
Dear Mary,
I learned much from this and I thank you. Aunt Baby is a Lab and has suffered from hot spots a couple times...both after a professional shampoo, so we stick to home baths with baby shampoo, as she has such delicate skin.
Funny, I saw her chasing a pretty bunny but was unable to catch thankfully yesterday...
Buzz is a doll and I love your pictures together. Hoping your baby is feeling A-OK again soon...Voted UP and UABI. Love, Maria

The organization said the trend of permanent cropland and annual cropland outperforming each other in alternating quarters continued. In the first three months of the year, annual cropland posted a 6.82 percent total return, while permanent cropland posted a 2.78 percent return during the quarter. Over the last six years, annual cropland has continued to outperform permanent cropland during the first quarter. Permanent cropland hasn't bested annual in the first quarter since 2007.
According to the NCREIF, the Mountain region posted the highest performance during the first quarter, with 14.58 percent. It surpassed all the other regions by 500 or more basis points. Most of that return (13.37 percent) was appreciation. The Pacific Northwest ranked after the Mountain region, posting a return of 8.05 percent.
The lowest performing regions were the Corn Belt, with a 3.07 percent total return, and the Southeast, with a 3.95 percent total return. The Corn Belt was last quarter's highest performer, although the Southeast and also the Southern Plains have both been struggling.

Chemistry is fundamental for powering our society. A flurry of very promising experiments demonstrate that plasmonics may have a transformative impact on the way we will drive, manipulate, enhance, and monitor chemical processes in the future. Plasmonics offers the ultimate spatial and temporal control over light and photochemistry, with the help of metallic nanostructures capable of concentrating electromagnetic energy into nanoscale volumes. Surface plasmons (SPs) are charge-density oscillations at the surface of a conducting material and decay by reemission of a photon or through the creation of highly energetic ("hot") electrons and holes. The subsequent equilibration of hot carriers with lattice phonons can lead to appreciable local heating.

Yeah, we made a bunch of managerial blunders IMO too. Putting Ethier in CF for the first game lost that one, then having Kelly break Hanleys rib with a pitch was the end as he makes the team go.
My MVP is Adrian Gonzalez. Steady run producer and a great 1B too.
Thanks for the great run this year Dodgers, it was FUN !!!!!!

Imagine there are a massive number of websites out there all competing in their niches trying to get on top and the web keeps on growing. Getting noticed even is difficult at times.

Mr Wonderful
Of the 3 things I am grateful for today, one big one is Mr. Wonderful, my hubby. I am able to honor him in a contest today, so here goes.
Mr. Wonderful and I have 7 children. Our family has the benefit of having very hands on Daddy who cooks, cleans up, does the main grocery shopping every week, takes the time to hang out with the boys watching movies as well as pay attention to the
girls and their interests. Attends their school dances with me, goes to their night time events, takes lots of pictures of the family, all the time. Works a steady job with he enjoys, is easy going, has a great voice, and is very intelligent. What more can you ask of a Mr. Wonderful? He is my Mr. Wonderful and I love him. 🙂
Real quick:
I am grateful for new friends (I made some last night at a party I attended to benefit my friend Rachel)
I am also grateful for new business connections!! Made a nice one last night that I think will be great for both of us!
Loudly yours,
3 things to be grateful for 6/19/12
1. Information
In today's crazy financial market, a leg up on what is really going on is a great thing. Today, I am grateful to have the time to listen to information that will help me and my family keep our finances safe and growing.I got the chance to listen to info from the Elevation Group and I think the information is worth while.
2. Family members
Good family members are worth their weight in gold. Thank God I have a great family. Sometimes they can drive me nutty, but I love them, none the less!! It is a great game of give and take and I am happy to be in the "game" with them. 🙂
3. Integrity
I sure am grateful for those who take responsibility for their lives and who show up when they say they will and do what they say they are going to do. I sure hope that I always model that to my kids!!
Loudly yours,
3 things to be grateful for 6/18/12
3 things for which I am grateful today are:
Like minds coming together towards a goal.
This weekend, we had our 3rd bi annual Tabor Idol.
It was so much fun. It is a forum which the neighbors of Mt Tabor come together and share their various talents together on one stage to benefit our annual Children's Day, a festival of sort, celebrating the Children of Mt Tabor. It used to be the time when the people who resided here for the summer would pack up and go home. (our town was the summer "mountain" resort for the Methodist Church; those desiring a beach environment would go to the Sister town, Ocean Grove.)
I got the chance to sing a couple of songs and had so much fun singing them. Songbird was a song I got the chance to refamiliarize myself with through Glee, but which I sang since I loved Fleetwood Mac growing up as a teen. It was fun dedicating the song to my BGF, Anina, who I always want to be happy. 🙂 Hey You was my tribute to Pink Floyd, whose music I do love, even though it is kind of depressing. That song was one of the more singable song for me to sing and it was fun performing with BBT! My eldest girls got to sing as well and I was very proud of them!! Such fun. The after party was a blast and very loud. I am sure our neighbors were not thrilled since we were up until after 12. Thankfully, no police calls were made. It was an amazing night.
Fathers who make a difference.
My Dad is a great guy and I am lucky enough to say that my Father-in-law is, too. Our family is so lucky to have such great family cornerstones. They are both devout in their faith and have brought up great kids. I can write forever about their virtues, but I will not go on and on. Suffice to say, that through their examples, they have modeled what it is to be a great Dad and I am lucky enough to be married to a great Dad as well! Very lucky…
Adversity & direction
If we never had adversity, we would never have a reason to appreciate the good times in life. I just heard something similar on the Christian radio station local to us. It made a lot of sense to me and it might sound funny to be grateful for it, but when you are lucky enough to have some direction out of that adversity, it is something for which one can be grateful.
Loudly yours,
Summer is upon us!!
Five Question Friday!
My life has been such a whirlwind lately. I have not had time for very much lately!! I do have the latest questions from yesterday, though!
Here they are!
Loudly yours,
1. Did you do anything special for your kids on the last day of school? Or did you parents do anything special for you?
No, nothing special. Does breathe a sigh of relief count?
2. What's your favorite summer tradition with your children?
Go to the pool!! Love my pool because it is so woodsy and has a Pocono feel…and its quiet. 🙂
3. What was your favorite thing to do during the summer as a kid?
Run around with my friends, ride bikes, go hiking in back of my Cousin's immense house, take trips to the shore, the Poconos or trips to Ecuador. Great fun!
4. How old were you when you were married? Were you a Bridezilla?
I was 22. Not really, maybe a little right before the wedding since we were late, but otherwise, no.
5. What is your favorite girl name? (I'm needing suggestions.)
Rachael, Vianne, (veeahn), Gabriella, (Bella), Isabella, Jessica, Elizabeth, Sabrina, Michelle.
Five Question Friday 6/1/12
From Five Crooked Halos
1. What were you scared of as a kid?
As a kid, I was scared of leaving a place and never returning. Not exactly sure why. The most common place I feared never going back to was my cousin's house in S Orange. It was so beautiful. I loved being there at the Mansion. The property was beautiful. I have so many memories there and sometimes, even today, I go and park near it just to look at it and remember.
2. Do you sleep well in a hotel?
Pretty well. It depends on where it is. One of the best places I have slept was The Wolverton Inn in Lambertville, NJ and Embassy Suites in Parsippany, NJ. The beds there were awesome.
3. If you could meet any celebrity, dead or alive, who and why?
I would want to meet Judy Garland or Marilyn Monroe (the dead people) and Jennifer Lopez or Johnny Depp (alive)
Why? First of all, they are all in the entertainment business, something I wish I could be a part of. Most of them are singers, like me and I would love to pick their brain and just get to know them.
4. It's a hot summer day. Do you prefer to be pool side or at the beach?
Pool side. Hate the sand.
5. What is your favorite summer dish?
Cucumber Salad. Just love the taste.

In 1969, with auto sales going as crazy as the times in Manson-Hippie-Jim Morrison-Bobby Kennedy assassination California, the Credit Life Insurance Co., which insured scads of car loans, tapped Dick Giles on the shoulder and suggested he go west to manage the office there.
For his son, Rick, who was looking forward to his senior year at Springfield North High School and was a drummer in a band that, in the era of psychedelia, switched its name back and forth from the Gum Drop Trilogy to the Isles of White, the move was clearly a bummer.
Whether the untimely departure deepened the boy's sense of connection with the Champion City isn't clear. But while looking out the windows of the Un Mundo café recently at the tracks that once carried Big Four trains through downtown Springfield, Giles, now 66, laughed appreciatively at the suggestion that his dreams for a tribute to his hometown railroad may have not just grown but metastasized.
What had started as a project to build a layout showing the Ohio State Limited pulling up on Washington Street beside the iconic and beloved Big Four Depot has turned into a vision that has Giles considering taking a wall out in his basement to make enough room for a model of the Big Four from Springfield to the "hump yard" in Sharonville and maybe even to the Procter and Gamble yard in Ivorydale.
MORE FROM TOM STAFFORD: What do you get a guy turning 64? This one got something very usual and something VERY unusual
Just as he'd go downtown from Home Orchards area to watch the Limited arrive at 5:15 p.m. during his youth, "I'd leave the windows open (at night) and I'd hear the trains whistle for the crossing at Kensington (Street). There's always that romantic thing about trains in the distance," though Giles points out that, by then, the sounds were coming from a diesel engine horn instead of the whistle of a steam locomotive.
That detail about the whistle speaks to the depth of knowledge and level of authenticity he brings to his quest. Giles called my home hoping that I'd be able to help him track down a photo of the West End tower, one of six in Springfield. Giles wants an original print. The copy he has from a 1950s newspaper isn't making the grade.
Different from the towers on other sections of the New York Central, fans of the Big Four love them for their "spindly looking" design. Instead of being walled off on both the first and second floors, the first floors of the Big Four Towers were open, laying bare the lock levers tower operators pulled to switch trains from track to track. The structures were called arm-strong towers in the days before pneumatics and electricity powered them to reflect the strength required to operate the switches.
"These guys didn't look like Charles Atlas," Giles said, "but they had a technique."
Just as the late Bill Swonger chose 1940 for his masterly model of downtown Springfield that has been such a wonderful contribution to the annex of the Clark County Heritage Center, Giles has a period in mind: 1954-62.
A model layout of that era "could run steam and diesel at the same time," he said. "I've collected the locomotives and several dozen passenger and freight cars from that era," a time in which Big 4 cars transitioned from a rusty red to green.
But Giles has more in mind recreating the railroad's appearance. "I like the intricacy of actually creating an operating miniature railroad," he said – of replicating the myriad movements of cars from the main tracks to spurs to serve customers and switching train to sidetracks to accommodate the flow on the main line.
As the operator of such a railroad, "You go out and you solve a complex puzzle every day."
What's more, the puzzle's moving parts would reassemble this region of Ohio when it was an industrial powerhouse, in the days the tracks skirted the edges of factories and sometimes went into them.
In addition to the Springfield factories – and the railroad's large Warder Street yard and roundhouse of the time – he envisions his layout including two large cement plants in Fairborn; the Union Terminal in Dayton; the Frigidaire works in Moraine; a paper mill in West Carrolton; the Mound Laboratory in Miamisburg; paper mills and fuel facilities in Franklin; and the Armco Steel works in Middletown.
It's not clear how he will fit all this into the basement of his 1922 house while leaving room for a furnace and washer and dryer.
That he's seriously thinking about it is a clear sign that Giles, back from California a year now, is running down a dream that began when a train whistle that sounded near the Kensington Street crossing came into his bedroom window on summer's night long ago.

Research topics
Major themes for my research revolve around non-equilibrium phenomena in many-body systems ranging from ultra-cold atoms to strongly correlated electron materials. Specifically, I am interested in:
- Understanding the nature of entanglement, correlations and quantum mutual information in ground states and thermal states of commonly encountered many-body systems with striking and deep connections to their simulability.
- Exploiting and further developing sophisticated tensor network theory techniques for efficiently simulating many-body quantum systems. Currently this most prominently includes the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method and its generalization to time-dependent phenomena via the time-evolving block decimation (TEBD) algorithm applicable to 1D systems. A major long term effort to extend the success of these methods to 2D quantum systems is underway.
- Developing a comprehensive and highly optimized freely available open-source software library for tensor network theory algorithms which can be found at www.tensornetworktheory.org.
- Connecting tensor network theory to other extremely successful techniques in condensed matter physics such as density functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory.
- Applying these toolbox of methods to realistically model systems of ultra-cold atoms and strongly correlated electron systems which are driven far from equilibrium. In particular I am interested in how strongly driving systems can stabilize new phases not possible in equilibrium and permit the controlled manipulation of material properties giving quantum enhanced functionality.
- Exploring foundational issues regarding quantum theory including non-locality and quantifying quantumness, as well as connections to thermodynamics of small systems and fluctuation relations.

Second year tutorials
Mathematical Methods and A3: Quantum Mechanics
Michaelmas term
This term consists of 6 tutorials covering both Mathematical Methods and A3: Quantum Mechanics.
Teaching material
The main books for this course are:
- Binney and Skinner: "The Physics of Quantum Mechanics"
- Gasiorowicz: "Quantum Physics" Stephen Gasiorowicz (3rd ed) (Supplementary Material)
- Shankar: "Principles of Quantum Mechanics" R. Shankar (2nd ed)
Several copies of each book are available in the Keble library. The first book will be the basis for your lectures by Prof. Binney, but you are advised to read around from all three. It is reasonable to expect that you should have read a book like Gasiorowicz entirely during the second year (it is a short book after all). The tutorial plan lists those chapters of the book which should be read in preparation for the corresponding tutorial. Reading the book by Shankar is optional for those of you wishing to gain a better understanding of some of the more mathematical aspects of quantum mechanics. With this said I also encourage you to look around for other books which you might prefer, for example the one by Griffiths is very popular. Please discuss with me if you want advice about using another book.
Lecture Notes
You might find some of the older quantum lecture notes useful, as well as Prof. Binney's book:
- John March-Russell's handwritten notes (big files) MT notes 1, MT notes 2, MT notes 3 which these tutorials broadly follow (see MT synopsis).
- James Binney's book The Physics of Quantum Mechanics.
- Fabian Essler's Maths methods lecture notes.
Problem sets
These are the full problem sheets from which I have extracted the questions you attempt each week:
- Mathematical methods: MM1, MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5 - (2006 versions)
- Probability and statistics: PS1
- Quantum mechanics: QMMT, BQM1
Please hand in all written work promptly by 5pm two days before the tutorials (i.e. the Tuesday) by placing it in the "C" pigeon hole in the Clarendon Laboratory. Any work handed in late will be recorded as such and will potentially be left unmarked. A tutorial session starts at 2pm with a class of approximately 1.5 - 2.0 hours in the room specified below. This is followed by paired tutorials of 30 minutes each in the office DB101 which I share with Dr. Brian Smith. The written work is returned at the beginning of each class and is required for the paired tutorials. There are no paired tutorials in revision class sessions or when only returning vacation work. Below is a guide to the work I expect for each tutorial - please read it carefully since it may differ from previous tutors you have had so far:
Problem sheets
I have constructed an individual problem sheet for each class. These are composed of a subset of questions extracted from the major problem sheets for the maths methods and quantum courses available in the links above. For the quantum mechanics questions you will notice that I use problems from several sources to give you a wide flavour of problem styles. Note that the problems not included in the tutorial work are also important so when revising for collections you should go back and attempt them as well.
Self-assessed and Main questions?
When examining the problem sheet you will notice that they are separated into two parts - self-assessed and main questions. You should read all the questions before starting. Write the answers to each section separately in your script. The self-assessed components is made up of questions for you to practise essential mathematical skills and reproduce important bookwork derivations. Work on this section must be handed in, as evidence that you have attempted them, but will not be marked. Instead I will give you an answer sheet in the tutorial for you to mark your own work afterwards. The main questions are those which should be attempted and handed in. These questions are usually a little harder and will be marked by me.
What are "Essay" questions?
The purpose of essay questions is for you explore your notes and textbooks for material discussing a basic question or issue. You should then formulate a written explanation including relevant mathematical content from what you find. As a guide you should not write more than one handwritten page per question. Moreover to deter you from copying and pasting from Google/Wikipedia I will only accept handwritten answers. To get an idea of what an answer should look like I have made a basic model answer to an essay like question here (see also comments in the pdf).
What is the class "Question"?
The points referred to under Questions are points that will be discussed in class. I will expect you to have researched something about the issues involved beforehand. In particular you should hand in some brief bullet point in your script outlining your ideas and potential contribution to the class discussion. I'm not necessarily looking for correctness here or fully formed answers, just evidence of some thought. Indeed if something puzzles you about the question write it down as well. As a guide here is a basic model answer to a class question (see also comments in the pdf).
Class project
In the week 5 tutorial I will split the class into two groups of four and assign one seminal research paper in the field of quantum information to each group. Both of these papers are short and herald the discover of a simple but profound concept, namely the "no-cloning theorem" and "quantum teleportation". By the last tutorial in week 7 we will have covered enough of the basics to have a meaningful discussion about these powerful results and each group will spend about 10 minutes accurately explaining their content to the rest of the class. To help you out I have heavily annotated the pdf files of the papers to give you clues as to what you need to focus on. Also I have written some additional notes here to give you a brief guide to qubits, tensor products and entanglement which will be very useful for understanding these papers.
Tips for your answer script
It is a good idea for you to make a cover sheet for your tutorial work in which you write down unresolved problems or issues you had while tackling the any part of the work we have done so far. I will attempt to help answer these in our tutorial.

text: Friday at HCMF began with a recital by rising star cellist Seth Parker Woods. I've had the opportunity to see Woods play once before (at HCMF 2014) and the experience was a highly impressive one, so I was very much looking forward to seeing him in action again. He did not disappoint, performing four challenging works, two of which involved live electronics. The acoustic pieces occupied soundworlds of an intimate, ephemeral nature. Alvin Singleton's Argoru II was sufficiently gestural that it took on a pervasive arbitrariness that frustrated engagement on anything but the most superficial level. Gray Neon Life by Edward Hamel was similar but explored much more interesting alternations between gesture and pitch with occasional fragments of a barely audible spoken text. Nonetheless it, too, conveyed an aloofness that made its transient filigree feel somewhat skin-deep. Despite these compositional concerns, Wood's performance of both pieces was seriously involving, exploiting the intimacy to give the impression he was playing to every member of the audience personally, and even at times as though he were playing entirely to himself. George Lewis' Not Alone utilised electronics to echo, distort, resonate, flitter and skitter around and follow hot on the heels of the cello's material. Structured as a clear sequence of contrasting episodes, there was a delirious playfulness in Lewis' conveyor belt of wildly diverse musical offerings. As with all but the very best works in the bloated performer-does-something-and-computer-responds genre, there were times when the hierarchical relationship felt simplistic, obvious and even a trifle tired, but this was a minor shortcoming in an otherwise thoroughly enjoyable and convincing piece.

Self-Acceptance – Stop Beating Yourself Up
For change to occur within us, self-acceptance is considered the prerequisite. It can be achieved by stopping criticizing and beating ourselves up. That is, tolerating and accepting of our imperfections.
So what is Self-Acceptance?
The dictionary defines self-acceptance as:
- the awareness of one's strengths and weaknesses,
- the realistic (yet subjective) appraisal of one's talents, capabilities, and general worth, and,
- feelings of satisfaction with one's self despite deficiencies and regardless of past behaviours and choices.
Self-acceptance involves self-understanding, a realistic, albeit subjective, awareness of one's strengths and weaknesses. It results in an individual's feeling about oneself that they are of "unique worth".
A person who has a high level of self-acceptance:
- has a positive self-attitude,
- acknowledges and accepts all aspects of themselves (the good and the bad),
- is not self-critical or confused about their identity, and,
- does not wish they were any different from who they already are.
So what is your own, personal definition of self-Acceptance that will allow you to lead the life you desire?
Striving to improve the self is terrific, but also knowing our limitations and accepting those for what they are and feeling calm about the outcomes means that you see yourself objectively and can stop feeling inadequate, beating yourself up and feeling guilty.
Of course, we can all work on improving ourselves more than we actually believe that we can, however, we all vary to some degree. We all have different levels of natural ability, some are better at sport than others and others are more academically inclined. To work on improving things we need to "back" ourselves, we need to recognise that we all have limitations and we all have certain strengths and weaknesses, however, it is the strengths that will help us move forward to achieve the goals we wish to achieve.
Self-acceptance is being able to "access yourself fairly" so that you are able to be calm about things, rather than beating yourself up or getting upset. It doesn't mean that we can't strive to change or improve ourselves, however, to acknowledge our weaker points and encourage ourselves to grow while further developing those stronger points too.
When we have self-acceptance we begin to acknowledge our achievements, defining our own values and setting our own standards of approval, no longer do we need to bluff our way through things or feel inadequate and just feel OK as you are.
When we respond to what others think of us, we put too much pressure on ourselves and behave in ways that aren't really true to ourselves.
The fact is that different people have different strengths and weaknesses and wouldn't it be boring if we were all the same, however, you can learn from others and watch how they respond to situations or other people and if their behaviour is acceptable to yourself, then perhaps you may adopt some of those qualities that you aspire to.
It is really OK, to say 'I am not good at something" or "you are not sure about things", it is about having the ability to relax with the limitations that you feel you may have.
You can also allow yourself to accept other aspects of your life, such as background, lifestyle or culture, etc.; we do not need to beat ourselves up because we don't "fit in". You are a unique, valuable and worthwhile person.
In fact when you accept yourself for whom you are, you will begin to have greater clarity as to just what you feel you need to improve or make changes within your life.
Therefore, allow hypnotherapy and counselling to assist you to:
- use your imagination to practise being the way you want to be,
- Let the subconscious mind know of the framework that you want to act on;
- Learn to use the subconscious mind to act spontaneously, respond to the images created making them a reality – just like learning to ride a bike or driving a car;
- Engage all of the body's senses to create the life you want – see it, feel it, hear it, taste it or even smell the life you would like to have and all of the components that go with it, accepting yourself for whom you are; and
- Use your imagination to be and act in certain ways, be able to name it. You need to know what you would like to achieve before you begin to work on improving it, equally, how do you know what self- acceptance is without being able to imagine what it is like. Or having an idea of it?
Create the images of how you wish to be and how you wish to live your life.

Sleep – It Can Be Difficult!
It is not uncommon for people to experience sleep difficulties at certain times of their lives, however, for some, it can become a chronic and debilitating condition.
It is amazing what can interfere with our sleep patterns, whether it be pressure at work, family issues, ill health, environmental factors, expectations of others or relationship concerns to name just a few.
We find ourselves lying in bed, closing the eyes, however, the mind is working overtime. A thought pops into the head and before it disappears another is taking place. It goes on and on. You know that you need to go to sleep so that you can function coherently tomorrow, however there doesn't appear to be any ability to silence the thoughts and you become more and more restless and agitated.
Then we start to worry that sleep won't come and the adrenaline begins to pulse throughout the body, feeling more and more awake and sleep continues to escape us for yet another night.
What are some of the factors that can affect our sleep:
- perhaps you don't sleep because there is a medical condition or a personal situation that requires medical attention/counselling;
- perhaps you are consuming too many stimulates (coffee, tea, alcohol, soft drinks, sugar, salt);
- napping during the day; or
- participating in physical or mental activities just prior to going to bed;
- the bedroom is associated with mental activities such as catching up on work, watching TV or balancing the accounts rather than a place to relax;
- environmental factors – too hot, too cold, noise, lumpy pillows, etc; or
- starting to fixate on our bedtime monologues. i.e. Oh, its 2.00am, I have to get to sleep, or Oh, everything is in such a mess, I need to fix it now.
Hypnosis in the management of Sleep Disruption:
Hypnosis can help:
- to balance and readjust your pattern of mental activity, calming the mind and body, greatly reducing the stresses and anxieties;
- to reprogram those bedtime monologues;
- replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts;
- build resilience to cope better;
- to relate night time to sleep time (or in the case of shift workers to the times that are more suitable);
- re-establish the body's natural sleep patterns; and
- improve sleep quality naturally, among other side benefits.
Through the use of hypnotherapy and guidance, Karen will be able to assist with ways of overcoming the difficulties of getting a good quality sleep, which will provide great benefits and improve the enjoyment of life.Image credit: Alyssa Miller (Flickr)

Remedial Massage with Virginia Dyson
I believe everyone should be able to access the benefits of massage therapy. It should be a way of life. Through the centuries massage has been used and it has been shown to have many benefits, it is still used today for the very same reasons.
Remedial massage treatments are tailored by qualified therapists to help ensure that your body stays in optimum performance condition whether you have a specific issue or are just looking for a general tune-up.
Massage is used to heal and to nurture. It improves circulation, immune function, muscle tone, mental and physical health. Massage can be a part of your health maintenance program, a time to nurture yourself, time out to relax, to help prevent injury and to help the body to heal injury.

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Dr. Deborah Young-Hyman, Professor of Pediatrics and a diabetes and obesity researcher at the Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Health Sciences University, is Co-Editor of the American Diabetes Association's first reference text covering the major psychosocial issues of diabetes.
Dr. Mark Peyrot, Professor of Sociology at Loyola College and a research faculty member at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, also is Co-Editor of Psychosocial Clinical Guidelines for the Treatment of Patients with Diabetes.
The comprehensive book gives practitioners guidelines to access and prescribe evidence-based treatment for psychosocial problems commonly associated with diabetes. Topics include adjustment to illness, adherence to treatment, depression, interpersonal relationships as well as ethics and safety.
"We wanted to put in the hands of clinicians and researchers the best information available about how living with diabetes affects not only the physical wellbeing of people but their total well-being across the lifespan," Young-Hyman said. "It can be a vicious cycle: having diabetes increases the risk of poor psychosocial outcomes such as depression and disordered eating behavior which can, in turn, adversely impact their diabetes treatment and disease outcome. Evidence-based strategies contained in this book provide guidelines for behavioral diabetes care and will help caregivers and their patients recognize and successfully cope with these significant issues in a chronic disease that is now pervasive in our society."
Young-Hyman chairs the ADA Behavioral Medicine Council's Psychosocial Clinical Guidelines Writing Committee and is a reviewer for the association's Book Division. She reviews abstracts for the ADA's scientific sessions and is a member of its Research Grant Review Panel and an American Association of Diabetes Educators-certified educator. She is a 30-year member of the ADA's Professional Section: Behavioral Medicine and Psychology. Young-Hyman served on the American Association of Diabetes Educators 2010 Expert Panel on Monitoring in Diabetes Management. In 2011, she chaired a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Review Panel reviewing funding requests for community-based childhood obesity research. She is a Fellow of the Society of Behavioral Medicine and The Obesity Society.
Young-Hyman researches obesity and related metabolic disorders from infancy to adulthood. She also studies the interplay between psychosocial and physiologic factors effecting chronic disease outcomes - development of obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular risk. Her studies have helped elucidate the conundrum of how type 1 diabetes treatment can increase hunger in patients struggling to maintain a healthy weight and how the disease can produce a preoccupation with food. She has more than two decades of experience in the family-based treatment of psychosocial issues related to acute and chronic illness with a specialty in diabetes.

A Long, Long Time Ago in a Judeo/Christian Bible Far, Far Away, the Star of David Meant 'As Above, So Below'
Well, it appears these early years of 21st century spiritual ignorance and darkness seem to be upon us indefinitely, so let's have a quick pop quiz review of some simple Judeo/Christian Star of David Arithmetic. Here are the main equations:
As Above + So Below = THE
Mountain Top + Valley Bottom = JUDEO/CHRISTIAN
Up High in Heaven + Down Low on Earth = STAR
Top of the Sky + Bottom of the Sea = OF
Heavenly Heights + Depths of the Earth = DAVID
Skeptical religious scholars may still quibble about the 'As Above, so Below' metaphor's ultimate origins (Adam/Eve/Cain/Abel) and whether it was ever in use among the ancient Hebrew Patriarchs, long before written history ever began. Nevertheless, the fact remains that no one will ever know for sure although the Bible seems proof enough there was on-going symbolic understanding about the Star of David among the Israelite Prophets who followed in Moses' footsteps.
Now called The Star of David...the symbol…means, simply 'as above, so below – the spiritual realm is mirrored by the material'. Westerners say on earth as it is in heaven.
– The Star of David or, Seal of Solomon, by ose Sinclair, The Bible Decoded
Indeed, the existing evidence strongly suggests it may well have been the Judeo/Christian tradition who initially introduced the 'As Above, so Below' linguistic theme into many different emerging Christian cultures who then later adopted it as their own.

Comparing Sense and Nonsense about the Star of David
Tragically, when it comes to the Star of David, there seems to be far too many Jew-hating, race-baiting, clearly exclusionary voices which almost always seem to come from the Protestant Christian Community. In the end it is quite sad that these clearly hostile, and possibly violent, lunatics literally drown out any and all of the more reasonable voices with their so-called independent Bible 'research' which purports to 'prove' the inherently evil origins of Jews, Judaism, and of course the Star of David. In order to fight back against these Protestant 'Christian' hate-mongers, a three-part comparison between SENSE and NONSENSE as it relates to the Star of David can be reads as follows:
It is not a Jewish symbol, but an occult symbol.
– The "Star of David" is Pagan, Jesus-is-Savior.com
SENSE: The Star of David is a widely recognized symbol of Judaism, named after King David of ancient Israel. (Star of David, New World Encyclopedia)
NONSENSE: It is not a Jewish symbol, but an occult symbol. (The "Star of David" is Pagan, Jesus-is-Savior.com)
EVEN MORE SENSE: Most people today associate the six pointed star (hexagram) with the Jewish Star of David (Magen David), as it is the modern symbol of Jewish identity and Judaism. In 1948 it was even adopted on the official flag of Israel. According to Wikipedia: "Its use as a symbol of the Jewish community dates to the 17th century." (The Six-Pointed Star of Armenia, WordPress.com)
JUDAS MACCABAEUS: The Star of David is either a Jewish symbol or an Occult symbol. It cannot be both, because the Occult has been opposed to Judaism and also the Jewish people, for literally thousands of years. The claim that it is not a Jewish symbol when Jews around the world say that it is appears to a serious denial of reality.
The "Star of David" is Pagan.
– Jesus-is-Savior.com
SENSE: The Star of David and the five-pointed star are both symbols associated with Christianity. (Christian Star, Christian Symbols, About.com)
NONSENSE: The "Star of David" is Pagan. (Jesus-is-Savior.com)
A LOT MORE SENSE: While predominately recognized as a symbol of Judaism and Israel, many Christians identify with the Star of David as well. (Christian Star, Christian Symbols, About.com)
JUDAS MACCABAEUS: The Star of David is either a Pagan or Christian symbol. It cannot be both, because Christianity is not a Pagan religion and to say an age-old Christian symbol like the Star of David is Pagan is to basically say that Christianity is Pagan, a contradiction in terms which makes no sense whatsoever.
Star of David OR Star of Lucifer?
– Great Joy in Great Tribulation, MoreSureWord.com
SENSE: Lucifer is a Latin word which signifies the 'morning star'. (Morning Star – Philologos, Philologos.org)
NONSENSE: Star of David OR Star of Lucifer? (Great Joy in Great Tribulation, MoreSureWord.com)
SOME MORE SENSE: The Star of David is a six-pointed star formed by two interlocking triangles, one pointing up, one pointing down….In the book of Revelation, Jesus is called the Morning Star – Revelation 2:28, Revelation 22:16. (Christian Star, About.com)
A FINAL SENSE: The name Lucifer originally denotes the planet Venus, emphasizing its brilliance…Metaphorically, the word is applied…finally to Jesus Christ Himself (II Peter 1:19; Apocalypse 22:16, "Exultet" of Holy Saturday) the true light of our spiritual life. (Lucifer, by Anthony John Maas. Catholic Encyclopedia 1913)
JUDAS MACCABAEUS: First of all, to even suggest that the Star of David may be the Star of Lucifer is to blindly assume that the Devil, the enemy of King David, Israel, the Jews and Judaism is in fact called 'Lucifer'. Considering the known fact that Lucifer is simply Morning Star in the Latin language, then it may well be more appropriate to think of Jesus Christ as Lucifer, who is indeed a direct descendant of the Royal House of David symbolized by the Six-Pointed 'Morning' Star of David..
REALITY: The Star of David is NOT a symbol of the Occult. It was and is an official symbol of Judaism.
REALITY: The Star of David is NOT a Pagan symbol. It is a Christian symbol.
REALITY: The Star of David is NOT the Star of Lucifer. It is the family Coat-of-Arms of Rabbi Jesus, a genuine symbol of Jesus Christ the bright, Morning Star.
God bless reality and may God bless you all.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported finding low levels of fungicide carbendazim in orange juice headed for U.S. supermarkets, but assured the public the juice remains safe to drink.
After being alerted by Coca Cola, the owner of Minute Maid and Simple Orange brands of orange juice, that certain juice from Brazil had tested positive for the fungicide in January, FDA initiated testing of all orange juice imports, regardless of origin.
The fungicide, which is used to combat unsightly mold, is not allowed in the United States, but used widely elsewhere. The United States has a carbendazim tolerance for several fruits, but not orange juice.
"FDA is continuing to ensure that orange juice in the United States does not pose a safety concern due to the presence of carbendazim residues," the agency said in an update Thursday. "Based on all results we have seen to date, we remain confident that orange juice in the U.S. may be consumed without concerns about its safety due to the possible presence of such residues."

It's Like the Viagra® Pill for Women
I know Viagra® (sildenafil citrate) is a registered product of Pfizer Inc. and it is not the brand name of the pill for women. But I thought it more descriptive in seven words to use that in the title than go ballistic on hifalutin terms. LOL!
Forbes Business entitles their story as "FDA Approves Addyi (Flibanserin), 'A Milestone Moment' In Women's Health." The drug sponsor is Sprout Pharmaceuticals and they will begin marketing the drug as Addyi (pronounced add-ee).
Forbes Business writes that the drug is directed towards women with "low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty and is NOT due to a co-existing medical or psychiatric condition; problems within the relationship, or the effects of a medication or other drug substance."
Associated Press put out a Q&A page about the new drug, outlining their article as such. I'm giving a one-phrase answer to each question but please go to the AP story for a more detailed answer.
How does it work? Acts on brain chemicals associated with mood and appetite.
Who will take this drug? Premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
I've heard this decision was controversial, why? The drug followed a long, contentious path to approval.
Does the drug work? Experts usually describe Addyi's effect as "modest."
What are the side effects? About 10 percent of patients experienced the most common problems: dizziness, fatigue and nausea.
How much will it cost? Between $30 and $75 for a month's supply.
Why did the FDA approve Addyi this time around? Sprout conducted several safety studies to more clearly define the drug's risks.
When will the drug be available? Mid-October.

Avro Arrow
The Story of the Avro Arrow From Its Evolution to Its ExtinctionBook - 1992
At its creation in the 1950s the Avro Arrow was considered 20 years ahead of its time but the development program was cancelled for political reasons. This is the story of the aircraft featuring rare photos and surviving diagrams.
The illustrated memoir of the most advanced fighter jet of the 1950s.
At its creation in the mid-1950s, the Avro Arrow was a fighter jet without equal. This Cold War aircraft was twenty years ahead of its time. Unfortunately, political realities resulted in the complete termination of the Arrow project. Cancellation of the Arrow called for the destruction of all photos, drawings, models, specifications and tooling. Even the aircraft themselves were disassembled and destroyed.
Avro Arrow is a fascinating historical record with an extensive collection of rare and highly prized photos, drawings and diagrams. Using two hundred images, the book traces the story of the Arrow from its inception to roll out and flight test, including advanced proposals for the development of future version.
Primary sources include:
- Taped interviews, test pilots' firsthand impressions, Avro officials and many plant personnel
- Surviving company records
- Declassified government documents.
Diagrams offer stunning details such as the North American strategic defense zones and interception tactics proposed for bomber attacks. This book concentrates solely on the vision, design and technical excellence of the airplane itself rather than the politics of its demise.

Did you know that 70% of U.S. adults experience digital eye strainas a result of increasing use of digital devices? Even You are reading this off of screen! Very few of us understand that we need to protect against intense Blue Light during the daytime and any Blue Light during evening hours.
The Syght blue-light blocking Glasses block more than 87% of the blue rays emitted by your devices!
Laboratory studies have shown that too much exposure to blue light can damage light-sensitive cells in the retina.Blue light also suppresses the production of the sleep hormone melatonin more than any other type of light and harms sleep.
Let's face it, You aren't going to stop looking at screens anytime soon, and the problem is that our eyes can't keep up with modern technology. A simple solution for that is to wear blue-light blocking glasses while using digital devices or 30 min-60 min before going to bed if you feel any of the blue-light side effects.
✅ Syght blue light blocking glasses reduce digital eye strain and protect your eyes in every aspect of your digital life. We offer computer & gaming glasses in prescription and non-prescription lenses.

Frequently Asked Question
A: These glasses are for:
- Anyone who sits in front of a computer all-day
- Anyone who games at night and has trouble sleeping
- Anyone that suffers from eye strain and eye irritation from looking at a screen for too long
- Anyone who plays video games everyday or competitively

A: Syght blue light blocking lens is made of aviation grade PC material. Compared with the mainstream resin lenses in the market, the PC lens is lighter, more ductile, not easy to break, impact resistant, not easy to turn yellow, certified by US FDA certification, Drop Ball Test, CE certification, SGS RoHS certification. Lens quality is guaranteed.
A: Syght lens is designed using the American HEV-Adsorb Lens technology. It can absorb high-energy blue light and provide 100% UV protection. Our glasses filter out the harsh blue light emitted by digital devices such as computers, smartphones, televisions, tablets, fluorescent lights, and LEDs. Our lenses allow your eyes to focus easier, reduce eye fatigue and eye strain, and improve contrast.
A: Blue light is part of the visible light spectrum that packs the highest energy with the shortest wavelengths, emitted in large amounts by digital screens such as computers and smartphones. Similar to how UV light can damage our eyes and skin, overexposure to blue light can cause eye problems ranging from eye strain, eye fatigue, blurred vision, dry eyes, and headaches. Blue light also regulates our circadian rhythm by influencing the production of melatonin in our body. Exposure to blue light at night time, such as browsing on your phone or computer disrupts our sleep cycle, making it hard for us to fall asleep.
A: We offer the clearest, most effective lens on the market. Other computer glasses are typically very yellow and have low transparency. Our glasses have a virtually clear lens and look just like a regular pair of glasses when you're wearing them. Our frames are built with cellulose acetate, the same material used by most high-end eyewear brands, and our selection of vintage and classic styles will keep you looking sharp.
A: Natural blue light comes from the sun. Our body uses blue light from the sun to regulate our natural circadian rhythm (sleep and wake cycles), boost alertness, heighten reaction times, elevate moods, and increase the feeling of well being. Artificial sources of blue light include digital screens such as TVs, computers, smartphones, and fluorescent and LED lights.
