Study Notes
Mechanism of Vision
- Light from an object enters the eye through the pupil
- Refraction of light occurs at four points: cornea, aqueous humor, eye lens, and vitreous humor
- Inverted and small images are formed on the retina as a result of refraction
- The retina converts the image into nerve impulses
- The optic nerve transmits these nerve impulses to the brain
- The brain interprets the impulses, flipping the image upright to create a perceived image
