Structure of the Human Eye

A Human Eye has the following parts : Aqueous humour Pupil Iris Cornea Retina Optic nerve Vitreous humour Ciliary muscles Crystalline lens

How the eye works

The Cornea - It is a round, transparent thin membrane where light is refracted first. The Sclera - The white part of the eye, it is a protective layer on the eyeball. Ciliary muscles - Helps to adjust the shape of the lens. Iris It dilates or contracts the pupil and thus control the amount of light falling on the retina. The Lens It is the elastic and transparent part that refracts the light so that it falls on the retina.

Defects of the eye

Myopia
Myopia is also known as near sightedness. A person with this defect has a far point nearer than infinity.

Myopia is corrected by placing a concave lens before the eye.

Defects of the eye

Hypermetropia
Hypermetropia is also known as far-sightedness. A person with this defect can see distant object clearly, but cannot see nearby objects distinctly. Hypermetropia is corrected by placing a convex lens before the eye.

Defects of the eye

Cataract
Sometimes, the crystalline lens of the eye becomes milky and cloudy with age, this condition is known as Cataract. It causes partial or complete loss of vision.

Cataract is removed with the help of a cataract surgery.

Eye donation
