05 Flashcards
Cornea and lens percentage of focusing
70% and 30%
What is accommodation
Ability to focus by changing the shapes if the lens
Near objects-thickens , far- flattens
Fatigue temporarily affects accommodation
Retina
Inner lining if the eye containing light sensitive cells cones and rods
Photoreceptors
Cones colour sensitive, clarity contrast work best in light, vision through cones=photopic vision
Rod- sensitive to low level light and movement. Used for peripheral vision and night vision. Vision through rods=Scotopic vision
Fovea and optic nerve , cones and rods amount
Fovea all cones
Optician nerve none for each
Extraocular muscles
Saccade- sudden,jerky movements of the eye to scan.
Attention-moving of eyes to place image over fovea
Pursuit-eyes visually track moving object
Visual field
= central + peripheral vision
120 deg left to right
150 up down
Visual acuity
Being able to resolve detail
Depends on th density of the photoreceptors
Densest area is around the fovea
To what dist is binocular vision effective and outside of that how can we infer
60m /200ft
Colour contrast size and rate of movement
Dark and light adaption time
Dark to light about 10 seconds
Cones light to dark 7-9 min
Rods Light to dark- 30min
How to prevent empty field myopia
Use short, sharp scans
