Lets light enter and pass through a series of clear components and sections, including the cornea, aqueous humor, lens and vitreous humor. Those structures bend and focus light, adjusting how far the light beams travel before they come into focus.
Parts of the eye:
Cornea-
The transparent front layer of the eye that bends light to help focus. It's the first and most powerful lens of the eye.
Pupil-
The black-looking opening that allows light to enter the eye.
Iris-
The colored circular muscle that controls the size of the pupil to let in more or less light.
Lens-
A clear inner part of the eye that works with the cornea to focus light on the retina.
Retina-
A light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye that contains rods and cones, which are cells that turn light into electrical signals.
Optic nerve-
Carries information from the retina to the brain.
Sclera-
The "white of the eye" that forms part of the supporting wall of the eyeball.
Vitreous humor-
A clear, jelly-like substance that fills the center of the eye and helps it maintain its round shape.
Tears-
Formed by glands around the eye, tears keep the eye moist, nourish the front of the eye, and protect it from injury and infection.
