Q

vitreous humor

A

transmits light

 supports the posterior surface of the lens

 holds the neural retina firmly against the pigmented layer

 contributes to intraocular pressure

38
Q

anterior segment of the eye contains what fluid?

drains via the canal of Schlemm

A

aqueous humor

39
Q
  • increased intraocular pressure [IOP] ≥21 mmHg
  • typically from increased aqueous humor
    • blocked outflow at canal of Schlemm [scleral venous sinus]
A

glaucoma

40
Q

a biconvex, transparent, flexible, avascular structure that:

 allows precise focusing of light onto the retina [fine focusing]

 is composed of epithelium and lens fibers

A

lens

41
Q

cataract

A

clouding of the normally transparent lens

 developing opacity of the crystalline lens

 denaturation of proteins

 progressive; vision loss to blindness

42
Q

astigmatism

A

inability of the lens or cornea to focus

 from lens hardening or corneal scarring

 refractive error – results in blurred vision

43
Q

pathway of light entering the eye

A

cornea, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous humor, and the neural layer of the retina to the photoreceptors

44
Q

close vision requires 3 events:

A
  1. accomodation
  2. constriction
    1. convergence
45
Q

myopia

A

near sighted- can’t see far away

corrected with a concave lens

46
Q

hyperopic eye

A

[farsighted] – the focal point is

behind the retina
 corrected with a convex lens

47
Q

adaptation to bright light [going from dark to light] involves:

A

switching from the rod to the cone system – visual acuity is gained

 dramatic decreases in retinal sensitivity – rod function is lost

48
Q

adaptation to dark is the reverse

A

cones stop functioning in low light, visual acuity

diminishes

 dramatic increase in retinal sensitivity – rod function is gained

49
Q

axons of ____________ form the optic nerve

A

retinal ganglion

Q

medial fibers of the optic nerve decussate at the

A

optic chiasm
