How do we see things?

Light makes us see……

The Sun…… gives us light

The Eye – organ for seeing Human eye – one of
the most complicated optical system
-almost spherical in shape, about 2.5 cm in diameter
-the front part is covered by the cornea, the back part is covered by the retina

Parts of the Human Eye
![Page 11: The human eye](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554ec45fb4c905064d8b4a7b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cornea – the transparent outer membrane which forms the eyeball’s outer coating.
- it serves as the window of the eye
![Page 12: The human eye](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554ec45fb4c905064d8b4a7b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Lens – is a jelly-like assembly of tiny transparent fibers Its main function
is to bend light rays that enter the eye
![Page 13: The human eye](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554ec45fb4c905064d8b4a7b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Iris – the colored part of the eye in front of the lens Made up of two
different muscle fibers which controls the size of the pupil
Iridologists believe the coloration and patterns of the iris of the eye reveal information about the health and well-being of the individual.

Pupil – allows light to pass into the eyes from the aqueous humour to the lens It opens and
closes to control light entering so as not to damage the retina
![Page 15: The human eye](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554ec45fb4c905064d8b4a7b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In dim light the iris contracts and the pupil gets bigger. This decreases the amount of light that enters the eye.
In very bright light, the pupil becomes smaller and the amount of light that enters the eye decreases.

Ciliary muscle – contracts and expands to control the curvature of the lens
Vitreous humour – a cavity filled with liquid in front of the retina
![Page 17: The human eye](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554ec45fb4c905064d8b4a7b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Retina - a light-sensitive membrane in the back of the eye containing rods and cones that receive an image from the lens and send it to the brain through the optic nerve It serves as a screen
where the image is formed
cones – responsible for vision in bright conditions
rods – for dim conditions

Fovea centralis – the center of the eye sharpest vision and the location of most color perception
Optic nerve – the pathway that the light rays take from the retina to the processing center of the brain

Eye Fun Facts• Most people blink every 2-10 seconds.Each time
you blink, you shut your eyes for 0.3 seconds, which means your eyes are closed at least 30 minutes a day just from blinking.
• If you only had one eye, everything would appear two-dimensional. (This does not work just by closing one eye.)
• Owls can see a mouse moving over 150 feet away with light no brighter than a candle.
• The reason cat's and dog's eyes glow at night is because of silver mirrors in the back of their eyes called the tapetum. This makes it easier for them to see at night.
• An ostrich has eyes that are two inches across. Each eye weighs more than their brain.
• A chameleon's eyes can look in opposite directions at the same time.
• A newborn baby sees the world upside down because it takes some time for the baby's brain to learn to turn the picture right-side up.
• One in every twelve males is color blind
