the equator of the eye
divides the lens media into posterior and anterior pole,
biconvex
both filled with aquous humor: lens>corpus vitreum>retina
light enter eye through cornea
camera bubi posterior et anterior
filled with aquous humor btw cornea and lens, maintain intracellular pressure - made by ciliary processes > posterior chamber > pupil > ant chamber
corpus vitreum
occupy space btw lens and retina, hold lens against choroid
optical accomodation
accomodation btw two extremes: tense of the ciliary mm, , and relaxation of the ciliary muscle
focus on near object
1 - mm. of ciliary body contract -> thickening of ciliary body
2 - displace processes towards lens
3 - lense released from tension at equator, bring object into focus
4 - contraction of fibers
infinite
5 - tenus of ciliary muscle streches the elastic fibers of lens - muscular work
