Q

Cones are used for?

A

Photopic (Day / Color) Vision

17
Q

What does the Fovea

A

4,000 tiny cones (no rods!)

18
Q

What do cones perceive

A

One of three wavelengths (Red, Green, or Blue)

19
Q

How photoreceptors sense light?

A

Photoreceptors sense the length of the light wave. The percentage of each color receptor (Red, Green, and Blue) combined together determines the color we see.

20
Q

What is the pathway of light through the eye to the brain?

A
  1. Tear Film
  2. Cornea
  3. Through the pupil
  4. Lens
  5. Retina
  6. Optic Nerve
  7. Optic Chiasm - 1/2 the signals from each eye cross
  8. Lateral Geniculate Nucleus of the Thalamus (LGN)
  9. Optic radiation
  10. Occipital lobe (Visual cortex)
21
Q

What is the principle of refraction?

A

Light is bent as it passes from a less dense media to a more dense media

22
Q

What is normal vision called?

A

Emmetropia

23
Q

What is nearsightedness called?

24
Q

What is farsightedness called?

25
Q

What is blurry focus called?

A

Astigmatism

26
Q

What is a Phoropter used for?

A

To measure the power of a lens

27
Q

How do you focus close?

A
  1. Accommodation
  2. Convergence
  3. Miosis
28
Q

What are future treatments for eye diseases?

A
  1. Artificial Cameras
  2. IOLs that change focus and zoom
