Retinoscope

Retinoscope

An eye doctor looks into your eye with a retinoscope.
A retinoscope is used to shine light into a patient's eye for an eye doctor to observe the reflection off the retina. The light is moved back and forth across the pupil. A retinoscope is especially useful in prescribing corrective lenses for patients who are unable to give oral feedback to the eye doctor. It is also useful for determining how well the eyes work together, or accommodate, to see clearly.

NEPAL: Zenisha Moktan is Miss Nepal 2009


KATHMANDU: “I’m speechless. I can’t believe this. God! I’m Miss Nepal 2009. My dream has come true.” After staying amazed in excitement for more than ten minutes the new Fem Miss Nepal 2009 Zenisha Moktan finally opened up.
Amidst the hassles the beauty pageant faced early in the afternoon in front of the main entrance of Army Club in Bhadrakali, Fem Hidden Treasure Miss Nepal 2009, however, commenced peacefully inside the auditorium on Thursday evening.

Moktan came back this year and, in her own words, was pretty sure of winning the crown.
“All I dreamt since my childhood was to be treated like a princess and to adorn a wonderful beauty pageant crown. Finally my dream has come true. But there’s more that I have to achieve. I guess, I’ll be fully satisfied if I succeed in bringing home the crown of Miss World 2009,” said Miss Nepal Moktan.
Kunchhang Moktan became the second runner-up and Richa Thapa Magar took home the title of first runner-up. With that, Richa will soon be heading to vie for the Miss Earth beauty pageant to be held in Philippines and Miss Nepal Zenisha Moktan will now go through an intensive grooming to prepare her for the Miss World beauty contest.
Miss Nepal Moktan promises to fulfill all her responsibilities that now she is as a newly crowned Miss Nepal.
“For the moment, please let me feel pampered,” she gushed.

Crowned: The fairest of them all

Newly elected beauty queen Fiona Konchella (C), second runners up Susan Kamau of Nairobi (L) and first runners up Tabitha Wachiuri (R) of Nyeri pose for pictures during Miss World kenya 2009 beauty pageant at KICC, Nairobi.
Twenty-year-old Fiona Konchella emerged as Kenya’s top model on Saturday night, after hotly contested Miss World Kenya finals.

Described by the judges as being very intelligent and having the best smile and a powerful and convincing speech, Miss Konchella beat 16 other hopefuls to grab a chance to represent Kenya at the Miss World Finals in Johannesburg South Africa in December.

She also won a brand new Toyota Vitz.

The second-year Bachelor of Commerce student at the University of Nairobi was pushed to the contest to try and champion a cause close to her heart.
Cannot believe

“I am grateful to God for this opportunity and I still cannot believe I won because there was very stiff competition. I can now use the platform to champion women empowerment in Kenya because that is what made me sign up for the competition,” she said.

In an event where one of the girls, Tabitha Wachiuri who was second, became overwhelmed and the ushers had to rush by her side, Konchella was calm and collected flashing her signature smile that won over the crowd and the judges at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre, Nairobi.

“I think one of the things that won me the crown was my confidence,” she says.

She is thankful for the event, sponsored by Ashleys Beauty Academy, for providing her with a platform to help women.

“One of the my dreams is to start a women’s enterprising fund and also start a tailoring course for women in the rural areas across the country,” she adds.

Some of the previous winners of the Miss World Kenya are Juliet Achieng who won in 2004, Cecilia Mwangi 2005, Shamila Kiptoo 2007 and Ruth Kinuthia who won it last year.
