1. Structure of the Human EyeThe human eye is a complex organ responsible for vision. It functions by capturing light and
converting it into electrical signals, which are then processed by the brain.
Key Components:
1. Cornea:
○ The transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the front of the eye.
○ It refracts light entering the eye, providing most of the eye's optical power.
2. Iris:
○ The colored part of the eye surrounding the pupil.
○ It regulates the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting the size of the pupil.
3. Pupil:
○ The central opening in the iris.
○ It appears black and controls the amount of light that enters the eye.
4. Lens:
○ A transparent, flexible, biconvex structure behind the pupil.
○ It focuses light onto the retina by changing shape (accommodation).
5. Retina:
○ The innermost layer at the back of the eye.
○ It contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that convert light into electrical
signals.
○ Rods are responsible for vision in low light, while cones detect color.
6. Optic Nerve:
○ Transmits visual information from the retina to the brain.
○ The optic disc, where the optic nerve exits the eye, creates a blind spot.
7. Aqueous and Vitreous Humors:
○ Aqueous humor: A watery fluid between the cornea and the lens.
○ Vitreous humor: A gel-like substance filling the space between the lens and the
retina.
8. Sclera:
○ The white, tough outer covering of the eye.
○ It provides structure and protection.
2. Functioning of the Human Eye
1. Image Formation:
○ Light enters the eye through the cornea and passes through the aqueous humor,
pupil, lens, and vitreous humor before reaching the retina.
○ The cornea and lens focus light onto the retina, creating an inverted image.
○ Photoreceptors in the retina convert light into electrical signals.
