conjunctiva Protects the cornea Eye muscle Rotates the eyeball cornea Allows light to pass through Refracts light into eye Retina Contains rods for black and white vision, and cones for colour vision lens Refracts and focuses light onto the retina iris Regulates the size of the pupil and hence the amount of light entering the eye Optic nerve Blind spot No cones or rods Transmits nerve impulses to the optic centre in the cerebral cortex
Long sight & Short sight
Long sight image formed behind the retina
Reasons for long-sight 1. The eye lenses are too thin. 2. The eyeballs are too short.
Long sight is corrected by convex lens image formed on the retina
Short sight image formed in front of the retina
Reasons for short-sight 1. The eye-lenses are too thick. 2. The eyeballs are too long.
Short sight is corrected by concave lens image formed on the retina
