Kimberly Asmann Chapter 3 Depth Perception September11‚ 2012 The topic that interested me the most from this chapter was Depth Perception. Images appear in two – dimensional form on the retina‚ amazingly we see a three – dimensional world. Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. No one sees their surroundings as being flat. An individual will see objects as either being farther away or at close range. Some objects will overlap each other.

new prosthetics for the eye could reverse vision loss in some people with a simple implant. She supports this claim by explaining the technology and how it “combines infrared video-projection goggles with a small‚ wire-free chip implanted inside the retina” then by stating “[the implants] might restore more vision than other retinal prosthetics being worked on” (1). Bourzac’s purpose is to inform readers about the exciting upcoming technology for people with vision loss in order to show readers that

Causes Faulty Genes- it can be inherited from a parent or it can be formed during mutation very early stages of birth. Growth of more eye cells- the cells in the retina do not stop growing. Treatment Laser treatment- the child will be put under anaesthetics while the operation is getting done and your child will feel no pain.

Q.1. What is the distribution of rods and cones on the retina? What results did we observe from the visual field experiment that confirms this? In your response describe the data collected and correlate the data with the known distribution of rods and cones.(10 points) Rods are very sensitive and respond to very dim light making them best suited for night and peripheral vision. Cones need bright light for activation because they have a low sensitivity but react more rapidly. Cones furnish vivid

images of objects in the two eyes. There are several ways to describe the positions of objects in regards to binocular disparity. Corresponding points are those in which if the left and right retinas were superimposed would produce coinciding points. Noncorresponding points are just the contrary; points on the retinas would not coincide if superimposed. When an observers focuses on an object‚ a horopter is established. A horopter is a term used to describe an imaginary surface from which objects would

concentration of glucose in fluid that are around the eye makes them fragile. Tiny bulges can be developed in the retina and it can develop in other areas in the eye‚ and if they start to leak or burst‚ the fluid and blood can spread throughout the eye. After it starts spreading‚ blood clot and scar tissue can start to form in front of the retina‚ which prevents light from hitting the retina‚ causing blindness. If the fluid is released it can cause swelling which leads to blurred vision. There is no

measurement of characteristics of the nerve fibres that make up the optic nerve. One of these is SD-OCT(Fig2)‚ a non contact‚ non-invasive method that enables physicians to obtain in vivo‚ high resolution (upto 5 microns) cross-sectional images of the retina. It is based on principle of low-coherence interferometry(Fig 3). By imaging a 3D cube of data it allows a detailed evaluation of the peripapillary area.

it is when the person can see things far away with no problems but when things are closer to them they have trouble focusing on them and their vision goes blurry. Hyperopia is caused when light rays are bent so they travel to a point beyond the retina instead of directly on it. This is because the eye is too short‚ the cornea is not as curved as it should be or if the lens sits further back than normal. It can be inherited‚ or heighten your chances of forming it. Most people are born with either
