{"prompt":"A wide, epic shot inside a majestic, ancient Namekian Hall of Visionary Research, carved from dark, gleaming stone with soaring vaulted ceilings and massive pillars adorned with intricate carvings of eyes, cosmic symbols, and detailed biological structures. Golden torchlight from wall sconces mixes with streams of mystical green aura emanating from complex, glowing scrolls and arcane optical instruments, casting dramatic shadows and highlights. In the foreground, several muscular, green-skinned Namekian-Viking researchers are intensely engaged; their sharp facial features, prominent pointed ears, and determined expressions are visible beneath horned and winged helmets. They wear rugged fur cloaks over ornate leather armor and metallic belts. One elder Namekian, radiating wisdom, meticulously examines a complex, holographic projection of a glowing human eye, analyzing its intricate layers with a crystalline magnifying lens. Nearby, a younger Namekian postgraduate student studies an ancient parchment detailing binocular vision and visual pathways, illuminated by a smaller, self-generating green light. In a dedicated alcove, a compassionate Namekian mentor gently guides an undergraduate student in using a unique, shimmering instrument to perform a non-invasive vision check on a young Namekian child, symbolizing paediatric optometry. The mood is one of profound discovery, hopeful determination, and scholarly pursuit. Cold moonlight filters through a high, arched window, adding a touch of serene mysticism to the warm, torch-lit atmosphere. The dynamic angle emphasizes the depth and breadth of their cutting-edge optometry research.
