Study Notes
- Bi-focal lenses are needed for both myopia and hypermetropia
- Bi-focal lenses consist of both concave (top) and convex (bottom) sections.
- Contact lenses or surgical interventions can correct refractive defects.
- The human eye uses light enabling people to see, and has a lens structure.
- The human eye is one of the most valuable and sensitive sense organs.
- Eyes can identify smells, tastes, sounds, and touch, but not colors.
- The human eye is like a camera because a lens system projects an image onto the retina.
- Light enters the eye through the cornea, which is a thin membrane on the front of the eyeball
- The eyeball is about 2.3 cm in diameter and nearly spherical shaped.
- Most refraction occurs at the cornea's outer surface, the crystalline lens provides finer focal length adjustments.
- The Iris located behind the cornea is the muscular diaphragm which controls pupil size
- The pupil regulates the amount of light entering the eye.

Description
The human eye is a sensitive sense organ that uses light to see the world. Light enters through the cornea, and the iris controls the amount of light. The lens helps focus objects at different distances on the retina.
