Eye Work Invidual components of the eye work in a manner similar to a camera. Each part plays a vital role in providing clear vision. if one of them gets hurt, it affects all of your vision. So think of the eye as a camera with the cornea, acting lens cover. As the eye's main focusing element, the cornea takes widely diverging rays of light and bends them through the pupil, the dark, roundopening in the center of the coloured iris. The iris and pupil act like the aperture (a small narrow opening) of a camera. Next in line is the lens which acts like the lens in a camera, helping to focus light to the back of the eye. Note that the lens is the part which becomes cloudy and is removed during cataract surgery to be replaced by an artificial implant nowadays.
The very back of the eye islined with a layer called the retina which acts very much like th fil of th camera. Th retina i a hi h t h lik the film f the The ti is membrane containing photoreceptor nerve cells that lines the inside back wall of the eye. The photoreceptor nerve cells of the retina change the light rays into electrical impulses and send them through the optic nerve to the brain where an image is perceived. Thecenter 10% of the retina is called the macula. This is responsible for your sharp vision, your reading vision. The peripheral retina is responsible for the peripheral vision. As with the camera, if the "film" is bad in the eye (i.e. the retina), no matter how good the rest of the eye is, you will not get a good picture. The human eye accommodates to changing lighting conditions and focuses lightrays originating from various distances from the eye. When all of the components of the eye eye function properly, light is converted to impulses and conveyed to the brain where an image is perceived.
