Q

What is aqueous humour?

A

It is the clear, watery fluid between the cornea and the lens. It protects and nourishes the lens and enhances refraction.

Q

What does the iris do?

A

It controls the amount of light entering the eye

17
Q

What is the pupil?

A

It is the hole through the iris

18
Q

What does the lens do?

A

The lens is connected to the ciliary muscles that change its shape and the power of accommodation

19
Q

What is vitreous humour?

A

It is the colourless, transparent gel that gives the eyeball its shape. It aids refraction and the convergence of light entering the eye.

20
Q

What is the retina?

A

It is the light sensitive part of the eye that respond to different colours and light intensity

21
Q

What is the blind spot?

A

The area that connects to the optic nerve, it has no photoreceptors

22
Q

Explain myopia.

A

Also known as short sightedness, the image falls short of the retina. It is corrected with a concave lens.

23
Q

Explain hyperopia.

A

Also known as long sightedness, the image falls beyond the retina. It is corrected with a convex lens.

24
Q

What is accommodation?

A

It enables the eye to focus on near or far objects. If the lens is fattened, it can focus on near objects. If the lens is stretched thin, it can focus on far objects.
