Tunnel vision

Tunnel vision (also known as Kalnienk vision) is the loss of peripheral vision with retention of central vision, resulting in a constricted circular tunnel-like field of vision.

Causes

Tunnel vision can be caused by:

  • Glaucoma, a disease of the eye.
  • Retinitis pigmentosa, a disease of the eye.
  • Blood loss (hypovolemia)
  • Alcohol consumption. In addition, the vision becomes blurred or double since eye muscles lose their precision causing them to be unable to focus on the same object.
  • Sustained (1 second or more) high accelerations. Typically, flying an airplane with a centripetal acceleration of up to or over 39 m/s2 (4gs) with the head towards the center of curvature, common in aerobatic or fighter pilots. In these cases, tunnel vision and greyout may proceed to a g-force induced Loss Of Consciousness (g-LOC).
  • Hallucinogenic drugs, in particular the dissociatives.
  • Extreme fear or distress, most often in the context of a panic attack.
  • Excitement or extreme pleasure such as on a roller-coaster, causing a surge of adrenaline in the body.

  • Tunnel Vision (Tunnel Rats album)

    Tunnel Vision is the second studio album by West Coast underground hip hop collective Tunnel Rats, released on October 25, 2001, through Uprok Records. Featuring a brash, aggressive sound, the album drew admiration from critics and proved highly influential for the Christian hip hop movement.

    Style and lyrics

    Tunnel Vision features an aggressive, underground sound. Jason Young of RapReviews.com noted that the collective consists of blacks, whites, and Latinos, men and women, thus offering a diverse sound. Young said that on the album's title track, rapper Macho channels an "early-90's LL Cool J" sound, and considered the decision to change tempo for the track's bridge was "pure genius." Of rapper Raphi, Young mentioned that he "does his best Slim Shady impersonation on his solo joint, 'Motivate', albeit with some decidedly un-Eminem lyrics."Exclaim!'s Thomas Quinlan's called "Motivate" "Timbaland-influenced", "Human Race" as mariachi sounding of "Human Race" and considered "Remember" a "testimonial track". Anthony DeBarros of CCM Magazine described Tunnel Vision as hip hop "and occasional R&B", and felt that while Tunnel Rats did not break any new musical ground, the collective had "a knack for using studio tools effectively." He explained that "Zane’s 'Change' floats over a shimmering electric piano, and 'For the Heads' evokes a jazzy nostalgia with an acoustic piano loop and simulated record-groove clicks and pops."

    Tunnel Vision

    by: Half Past Forever

    Every time I slip away,
    I dream a little dream of you
    You got me thinking 'bout your love
    When I got too much else to do
    Is this way it's gonna be?
    Is this how I'll just get through?
    Is this how I'll get through?
    Oh, you know
    I've got the tunnel vision
    I've got my eyes only for you
    I've got the tunnel vision
    I've got my heart set up for you
    It's been weighing on my mind
    How you love me all the time
    I've been around a time or two
    Wasting time till I met you
    Is this the way it's gonna be
    Is this how I'll just get through?
