Understanding the Eye
The eye is a complex organ that allows us to see the world around us. It captures light and focuses it on the retina, where images are converted into signals that the brain interprets as visual information.
Parts of the Eye:
- Coroids: This layer contains blood vessels and connects the retina to other structures.
- Iris: The colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil.
- Pupil: The opening that allows light to enter the eye.
- Lens: Focuses the light onto the retina.
- Retina: Contains cells that respond to light and send signals to the brain.
