Guide Questions:
1. Explain briefly how we see.

When light strikes the retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the rear of the eye),
photoreceptors (special cells) convert the light into electrical signals. These electrical
signals flow from the retina to the brain via the optic nerve. The brain then converts the
signals into the visuals you see.

2. What are some eye defects and how they are corrected
Common eye problems include myopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, hypermetropia,
and cataract. Concave lenses are used to address the short-sighted vision deficiency.
The most common vision problems are myopia and hypermetropia. They are rectified by
concave or convex lenses in spectacles or contact lenses.

Myopia allows a person to see adjacent objects clearly but not distant objects. A
person with this flaw has a distant point that is closer to infinity. Such a person can see
clearly up to a few meters away. The image of a distant object is created in front of the
retina rather than at the retina itself in a myopic eye. This flaw can be remedied by using
a concave lens of appropriate power. A proper power concave lens will return the
picture to the retina, so correcting the problem.

Far-sightedness is another name for hypermetropia. A person with


hypermetropia can clearly see distant objects but not nearby objects. This flaw can be
remedied by applying an adequate power convex lens. Converging lenses in
eyeglasses provide the additional focusing power required to form the image on the
retina.
The ability of the eye to accommodate decreases with age. The near point
gradually recedes for most people. Without corrective lenses, they have difficulty seeing
surrounding items comfortably and clearly. Presbyopia is the medical term for this
problem. A person can have both myopia and hypermetropia at the same time. These
folks frequently require bifocal lenses.

V. Conclusion:
Therefore I conclude that, in both the case of a camera and the human eye, the
amount of incoming light can be controlled using a diaphragm and an aperture. For
focusing, both use a convex lens. A photosensitive substance is coated on the
photographic film of a camera. The retina in the eye is made up of many light-sensitive
cells. Chemicals are used to prepare photographic film in a camera, and prints
(photographs) can be obtained using the right paper.

The electrical signals created by light sensitive cells in the human eye are
transmitted to the brain, which interprets them, via optic nerves. Cameras, unlike the
human eye, exist in a variety of sizes and shapes. In the case of cameras, unlike the
human eye, a wide variation in exposure duration is conceivable. The human eye is only
sensitive in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum (red to violet), whereas
cameras tailored for specialized purposes can cover a much wider range of the
electromagnetic spectrum.

VI. Enrichment
1. Describe what kind of life you will have if you are blind.
I can describe everything in my life as nothing but darkness. I personally believe
that Because of the discomforts and obstacles involved with blind people’s
circumstances, people who are blind naturally feel a sense of detachment, curiosity,
dissatisfaction, and skepticism.
As a result, in order to understand what these people are going through, it is
necessary to have a sense of engagement and empathy. To simulate the psychological
condition of being blind, persons should close their eyes and pretend they are blind. It is
good to understand how individuals in this state feel, in order to be able to associate
and treat them with respect.
According to research, most blind persons have visionary experiences both
awake and asleep, but they leave no reference point for recognizing them - there is no
way to say it looks like something. As a result, they have no idea whether the things
they hear about are true.
Another perspective. Given all of the circumstances, it's not surprising that living
with a vision impairment generally means living in isolation. Dealing with vision loss is
already a problem. A lack of emotional support at diagnosis centers, limited access to
activities and information, societal stigma, and a lack of work are all problems that
regularly lead to the isolation of blind or low vision individuals. This last statement
demonstrates how the difficulty for the visually impaired is not blindness or low vision in
and of itself, but rather their isolation from everyone else.

2. How can we keep our eyes in good and healthy condition?

The eye is an extremely valuable organ. As a result, eye health should receive more
attention. Many things can be done to keep your eyes healthy and to improve the
function of your vision.

We may keep our eyes in good condition by engaging in the following activities:
Relax Your Eyes. It's not terrible for your eyes to stare at a computer screen (or other
digital device). However, staring at it for too long will result in weary eyes, dryness, poor
focus, and even a headache. This is also true when the eyes are fixed on anything for
an extended period of time. Recommended for regular winks to keep its surface
hydrated, as well as follow the rules: 20/20, which means every 20 minutes gazing at
the computer screen, switch the view from the screen for at least 20 seconds.
Using Glasses. Glasses are crucial not only as fashion items, but also for protecting
the eyes from the hazards of ultraviolet light (UV). Yes, much like the skin, UV light is
bad for the eyes. Excessive UV light exposure for the eyes might result in cataracts and
macular degeneration. When shopping for sunglasses, look for those that can block off
the second UV-A and UV-B rays. Use the glasses if you are out of the room during the
day. Caps can also be utilized for further protection.
Hygiene of Contact Lenses. To avoid infection when using contact lenses, always
clean your hands before touching, installing, and removing your contact lenses. Contact
lens cleaning methods are recommended, as is changing your lenses every 2-3 months.
Eating more fruits and vegetables can help protect your eyes and improve your
overall health. You should eat meals high in vitamins and minerals to maintain your
eyes healthy. These nutrients and minerals are known as antioxidants. Antioxidants aid
in the health of our cells and tissues.
