Sequence the ‘Eye’s’ response to light:
light rays enter eye>cornea refracts light>iris contracts how much light enters the eye>Lens focuses light onto the retina>retina receives light by stimulating light receptors>triggers optic nerve impulse>brain processes impulses.
define accommodation:
the focusing of the eye on an object’s differences
elongated eye leads to …
short sited -myopia-biconcave lense
too shorter an eye leads to…
long sited-hypermetropia-biconvex lense
