    systems of photoreceptors exist – rods and cones – allowing the visual system to meet the conflicting demands of sensitivity and acuity‚ respectively. Rods and cones are distinguished by shape‚ type of photopigment they contain‚ distribution across the retina‚ and pattern of synaptic connections. These properties reflect the fact that the rod and cone systems are specialised for different aspects of vision. The rod system has very low spatial resolution but is extremely sensitive to light; it is therefore

But human eyes and camera lenses have many things that set them apart from each other. “Retina Provides Color • the image an eye perceives is projected from the cornea to the retina‚ which absorbs the image and projects it to the brain. A camera projects an image on to film where it is captured and saved as a black and white image. The retina contains millions of cones that provide the image with color.

Therefore‚ when the retina is detached or in the process of detaching‚ then liquid will usually fill the central portion of the eye (the vitreous) can leak beneath the tear. Some retinal detachments can’t be fixed‚ if the retina cannot be reattached‚ the eye will continue to lose sight and ultimately become

    THE EYE. The normal sighted human eye perceives an object which is ‘described’ by light rays and how they are bent by it . Usually‚ the image of the object is picked up on the retina‚ on the area of the Central Forea as an upside down picture which is then ‘righted’ by the brain in order that the object may be seen. Different distanced objects are perceived by the eye and the lens is the part that makes this possible. Objects which are close to the eye are seen by the eyes’s lens becoming thicker

The research showed credible evidence regarding the mouse’s retinas and their innate disorder. The transplantation of photoreceptors contributes responsive signals to light and are highly similar to adult’s photoreceptors. Retinas are part of the eyes‚ which are a valid sense organ. Photoreceptors are the cause of ideal vision in a living organism body. Without them‚ organisms would face the failure

    Juvenile Retinoschisis The retina is a layer of tissue containing the nerves that receive light and send the light signals to the brain. The retina lines the inside of the back of the eye. The term retinoschisis means “splitting” of the layers of the retina. In this condition‚ the inner and outer layers of the retina become separated by cysts. Since the nerves cannot communicate across these cysts‚ light signals cannot be properly transmitted to the brain and vision is effected. Juvenile retinoschisis
