📖 1. Eye Anatomy

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Cornea: Transparent, dome-shaped front surface of the eye that refracts (bends) incoming light to focus it onto the retina.
  • Iris: The colored muscular ring surrounding the pupil that controls the size of the pupil to regulate light entry.
  • Pupil: The adjustable opening in the center of the iris that determines the amount of light reaching the retina.
  • Lens: Transparent, flexible structure that fine-tunes focus by changing shape (accommodation) to project clear images onto the retina.
  • Retina: Inner layer of the eye containing photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that convert light into neural signals.
  • Optic Nerve: Cranial nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain’s visual cortex.
