1 Structure of the Eye

2 Parts of the Eye: Cornea

3 Parts of the Eye: Iris

4 Iris

5 Parts of the Eye: Pupil

6 Parts of the Eye: Lens

7 Parts of the Eye: Retina

8 Retina - Latin for Net (to Retain)
Who wants to see their retina?

9 Parts of the Eye: Fovea

10 Rods & Cones

11 Rods & Cones Rods are sensitive to brightness but not wavelength - black & white shades of grey Low light = fuzzy and greyed out Cones need even more light and detect wavelength (color)

12 Parts of the Eye: Rods

13 Parts of the Eye: Cone

14 Parts of the Eye: Bipolar Cells

15 Parts of the Eye: Ganglion Cells

16 Parts of the Eye: Optic Nerve
