By disecting the eyeball of a dog‚ researchers found that about 10% of the photoprecepters are cones. Cones are responsible for helping the brain detect colors. The photoreceptors in our eyes are 100% cones. This means that we can process all the colors and see them more vividly. A dog can’t tell the difference between red‚ yellow‚ orange‚ or green but they can see whites light blues‚ purples and different shades of grey. Besides just the cones‚ there are other photoreceptors known as rods

Strabismus Strabismus‚ or crossed eyes‚ is the medical term used when the two eyes aren’t straight‚ which is when one eye will wander in or out‚ or up and down. It occurs in approximately 2%-5% of the population. Strabismus may be present all the time or may only appear when a child is tired‚ ill‚ or concentrating on a nearby object. A child may be born with the condition‚ or it may develop within a few months of birth or around two years of age. Most often‚ strabismus is due to a persisting

Biology 2B03 – Cell Biology November 27‚ 2011 Retinitis Pigmentosa – Rhodopsin Receptor Abstract According to Dryja Ap et. al (1990)‚ A rare disease that causes visual imparity‚ retinitis pigmentosa‚ is due to SNP mutations in the rhodopsin receptor. RP varies from the age of onset to its severity of the disease itself. With most cases having a gradual loss of the RPE cells and degradation of the cones and rods photoreceptor cells‚ nyctalopia and tunnel

Contact lens is made up of plastic material and is directly placed on the anterior surface of eye to correct vision deficiences. Contact lens is used as substitution of spectacles. Currently‚ contact lens is more preferable as it comes in variety. One can change their eye color and appearance using colored pigment lens. The present methods of manufacturing includes mainly – Spin casting and Mold casting. But this has disadvantage of generation of ripple marks on the posterior surface and also distorted

1. You are looking at a Euglena using the x10 objective lens. You rotate the nosepiece around to x40 but the specimen is not visible. Describe what you should do next? Start by using the fine adjustment to attempt to focus on the Euglena. However‚ if it is still not visible‚ return to the x10 objective lens and use the fine adjustment to ensure the Euglena is as sharply focused as possible. Then‚ use the stage control to re-position the slide so the Euglena is directly in the centre of the lens.

“Dying to See” The lens of the eye is the only completely transparent tissue in the human body. The transparency of the lens is caused by its ability to self destruct its cells. Studies have found that by understanding the lens cells of the eye‚ and it’s ability to become and remain transparent‚ we may have a better idea of how to prevent diseases in which cells commit “suicide”‚ such as Parkinson’s disease‚ Alzheimer’s disease and AIDS. In nature‚ complete transparency in a species is very rare

Strabismus is a vision defect that occurs when an individual cannot align his two eyes at the same time. Strabismus can stop or start at irregular intervals. Each of the eyes look at different directions while trying to look at a particular object.
