The eye is our organ of sight.
Eye has a number of components which includes cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, macula, optic nerve, choroid and vitreous.
•Cornea:
Clear front window of the eye that transmits and focuses light into the eye.
•Iris:
Colored part of the eye that helps regulate the amount of light that enters.
•Pupil:
Dark aperture in the iris that determines how much light is let into the eye.
•Lens:
Transparent structure inside the eye that focuses light rays onto the retina.
•Retina:
Nerve layer that lines the back of the eye, senses light, and creates electrical impulses that travel through the
optic nerve to the brain.
•Macula:
Small central area in the retina that contains special light-sensitive cells and allows us to see fine details clearly.
•Optic nerve:
Connects the eye to the brain and carries the electrical impulses formed by the retina to the visual cortex of the brain.
•Vitreous humor:
Clear jelly like substance that fills the middle of the eye.
