Parts Of Eye
Working of eye
Light falling on the eye passes through the transparent cornea. They continue through the anterior chamber filled with aqueous humor. The light rays get further refracted through the vitreous humor and reach the Fovea of the retina
The cornea and the fluid serves as a
first lens. Light next passes through the flexible
transparent crystalline lens. As light falls on both rods and cones their
light sensitive pigment instantly decay and then re- form. The change send electro-chemical
signals through the optic nerve to the brain, where the signals are interpreted.
