The human eye is a natural optical instrument. It comprises of the following parts:
- Sclerotic layer- encloses the eye. The front part (cornea) is transparent to allow in light. It is the white part of the eye.
- Aqueous humour- it is a clear fluid/liquid found between the cornea and the lens. This helps to maintain the shape of the eye.
- Iris- it is responsible for the colour of the eye. It has the pupil in the middle which allows for passage of light. By changing the size of the pupil, the iris controls the amount of light entering the eye.
- Lens- it is a natural converging lens. With the help of the ciliary muscles, its focal length can be adjusted for fine focusing.
- Vitreous humour- it is a jelly-like substance and transparent in nature found between the lens and retina.
- Retina- images are formed here. It has light-sensitive cells.
- Fovea- it is the central part of the retina. This is where the eye has the best details and colour vision.
- Blind spot- has cells which are non-sensitive to light.
- Ciliary muscles- they suspend/support the lens. It is also responsible for controlling the shape of the lens.
