The Path of Light Through the Eye

The Path of Light Through the Eye

Your eyes function similarly to a camera. Light from the surrounding environment passes through the lens and is recorded on the retinas at the back of your eyes. The information from your retinas is then sent to your brain, where it is converted into awareness of objects around you. Light It's a slightly startling fact that the world around you is devoid of colour. There are only surfaces that reflect sunlight at different wavelengths. Your eye interprets the light reflected by these surfaces, and as a result, you perceive objects to have the colour wavelength that they reflect. Light enters...

Cataract: Causes and Symptoms

Cataract: Causes and Symptoms

A cataract is a clouding of your eye's generally clear lens. Seeing through clouded lenses is similar to seeing through a frosty or fogged-up window for those who have cataracts. Cataracts can cause clouded vision, making it hard to read, drive a car (particularly at night), or see the expression on a someone's face. Cataracts may be developed if you are above the age of 60 and your eyesight has become cloudy or blurry. It's a frequent disease in elderly people that may be cured by your eye doctor. If you do any of the following, you are more prone...

A Human Eye and a Camera Comparison

A Human Eye and a Camera Comparison

The camera and the human eye share much more than just conceptual philosophy; the eye captures images in the same way that the camera does. The camera's anatomy is more similar to that of a biological eyeball than many people know, including the lens-like cornea and the film-like retina. These similarities give the camera the appearance of a robotic eye. Despite the fact that cameras and eyes share many similarities, they are not identical. Cornea and Lens The cornea is the eye's cap. This transparent (like clear jelly) structure has a spherical curvature and sits in front of the eye....

Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)

Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)

Strabismus is a failure of the two eyes to stay in normal alignment and operate as a team. Strabismus can be either continuous or intermittent. The misalignment may typically affect the same eye or it may affect both eyes at the same time. Strabismus is most commonly seen in newborns and kids as a result of genetics or difficulties during physical growth. The majority of instances in kids are caused by a breakdown in signals between the brain, muscles, and nerves inside the eye. It can, however, develop in individuals who have had a diabetes. stroke, or head injury. Strabismus is...

Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

Amblyopia also known as lazy eye is a kind of impaired eyesight that affects only one eye. It occurs when there is a disruption in the way the brain and the eye operate together, and the brain is unable to detect sight from one eye. Over time, the brain becomes increasingly dependent on the other, stronger eye, while vision in the weaker eye deteriorates. Because the stronger eye functions better, it is referred to as "lazy eye." People with amblyopia, on the other hand, are not lazy, and they have no control over how their eyes operate. Amblyopia develops during childhood and...
