Answer to Question 1

International technical standards are implemented in the engineering and construction industry by their incorporation into construction contract documents by the engineers that write contract documents.

Answer to Question 2

There is no organization that enforces international standards globally. International standards are incorporated into projects by owners that require them in their construction contract documents. It is up to individual owners, and their engineering representatives, to ensure that the international standards specified in the contract documents are being followed by contractors.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
