Structure of the Eye 1. Fibrous Tunic - Sclera & Cornea 2. Vascular Tunic – Choroid, Ciliary body, Lens, Iris, Aqueous humor 3. Nervous (Sensory) Tunic – Retina, Macula lutea, Optic Disc, Vitreous humor
1. Fibrous Tunic Sclera Cornea
2. Vascular Tunic Aqueous Humor Choroid
2. Vascular Tunic Iris Pupil Lens Suspensory Ligament Ciliary Body
3. Nervous Tunic Retina Macula Lutea Vitreous Humor Vitreous Humor Optic Disc
Retina Light Optic Disc Optic Nerve
Retina Rods Cones
Retina: Rods vs. Cones Cones Green, Red, Blue Rods Black & White Bright light Mostly in macula lutea Rods Black & White Dim Light All over retina
Vision Physiology 1. Refraction & Lenses Refraction – bending of light Lenses Concave Focal point R Convex R Real Image
Vision Physiology 2. Visual focusing Emmetropic Vision – normal vision & requires no accommodation of the lens (20 ft.)
C. Vision Physiology 3. Refraction problems Myopia – nearsightedness. Eyeball too long. Hyperopia – farsightedness. Eyeball too short Astigmatism – unequal curvature of lens Presbyopia – farsightedness due to age. Lens cannot accommodate. About 45 years.

D. Disorders of the Eye Cataracts – hardening & clouding of the lens. Glaucoma – buildup of aqueous humor. Color blindness – sex-linked hereditary condition that results in the absence of one or more types of cones. a. Monochromates – Black & white b. Dichromates – blue/yellow or red/green
