Q

what happens to the lens with age?

A

thickness of lens increases

ability to accommodate is restricted (after age 40)

require reading glasses

24
Q

optic disc

A

where the optic nerve hits the back of the eye

25
Q

distant vision

A

absence of nerve stimulation meaning:

ciliary muscle relaxed

space bounded by the palpebral and and bulbar conjunctiva

29
Q

medial rectus

A

adduction

30

covers the inner surface of the eyelid

35
Q

lacrimal lake

A

pinkish yellow reservoir of tears

36
