called the retina‚ to produce an image. The eye is essentially an opaque eyeball filled with a water-like fluid. In the front of the eyeball is a transparent opening known as the cornea. The cornea has the dual purpose of protecting the eye and refracting light as it enters the eye. After light passes through the cornea‚ a portion of it passes through an opening known as the pupil. Rather than being an actual part of the eye’s anatomy‚ the pupil is merely an opening. The pupil is the black portion

* systemic problems – icteric sclera b. CORNEA – dense transparent layer. The cornea is the transparent‚ clear layer at the front and center of the eye. It is well supplied with nerve endings. The main purpose of the cornea is to help focus light as it enters the eye. If one wears contact lenses‚ the contact lens rests on the cornea. normal – transparent‚ smooth‚ shiny & bright accident or eye injury – cloudy areas or specks on the cornea II.

Essay Question: To what extent do our senses give us knowledge of the world as it really is? Human senses do not give much knowledge to the world as it really is; they primarily function to create a physical representation of the world that the brain can understand. Human senses can detect and receive true information‚ but the brain processes this information to attempt to form an image of the world that is coherent‚ not as it truly is. On the other hand‚ some people might say that human senses

organism. This small organ has multiple structures and tissues that work together to provide the organism with vision. The journey of the image formation begins at the Cornea‚ the outermost layer of the eye. Usually‚ this structure is transparent like water‚ but in this experiment‚ due to the chemicals used to preserve the eye ‚ the cornea appeared opaque. Its transparency is what allows light to easily pass through it while still refracting light. Its ability to refract allow light to enter directly

Eye Problems and Diseases Eye condition Acanthamoeba eye infections in contact lens wearers are rare but serious‚ and they often start because of improper lens handling and poor hygiene. Amblyopia also known as lazy eye‚ affects just two to three percent of the population. But‚ if left uncorrected‚ this vision problem can have a very big impact on those affected. Central vision fails to develop properly‚ usually in one eye‚ which is called amblyopic. A related condition‚ strabismus‚ sometimes

Next‚ the attention stimulus is formed as an image on the retina. The process is that the light passes through the cornea‚ the pupil‚ and onto the lens of the eye. The cornea duty is to focus the light as it enters and flows through the eye and the iris of the eye controls the size of the pupil so that the too much light will not be able to transfer to the eye. The lens and the cornea work together because if too much light enters the eye lid will close. The next step is the transduction. The transduction
