Study Notes
Eye Structure and Function
- The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped front layer of the eye, focusing incoming light.
- The iris is the colored part of the eye, controlling the pupil's size to regulate light.
- The pupil is the dark opening in the center of the iris, controlling light entry based on light conditions.
- The lens, situated behind the pupil, focuses light onto the retina. It changes shape to adjust focus for objects at varying distances.
- The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. It contains photoreceptor cells, including rods for vision in low light and cones for color vision and detailed vision in bright light.
