Recommended: Anatomy physiology of the eye

Although this R3 was a bit gross, I found it interesting and it made it easier for me to understand different parts of the eye. I think the main purpose of this R3 was to use hands on experience to make it easier for us to label parts of the eye on a diagram. One of the first observations I made when I saw the eye was how much bigger a cow’s eye is than a human’s. After I saw how big the cornea looked, I was surprised with how much meat surrounded the eye that I would have to cut off. Then I had to decide where and how I was going to cut off the excess. The easiest part of this dissection was finding the lens. The lens is a very distinct feeling and looking part of the eye, so I knew I found the lens. The most difficult for me was finding

    When the operation begins, Dr. Todd will use a steady hand to make a small opening in the side of the cornea. To begin removing the cataract, she switches tools and uses a vibrating ultrasound device to break the hard, cloudy lens into smaller pieces. Following this, she will suction the fragments out through the small cut in the eye. After the cataract is removed, she will begin to insert the intraocular lens in place. This is called an intraocular implantation. This lens is permanent, clear, and will restore normal vision for the patient.

  • Evolution of the Eye and the Different Parts

    How did our eyes form? In 1859, Charles Darwin wrote a book called the Origin of Species (a book that states Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection). In the book, Darwin stated that it seemed absurd to think that the eye formed by natural selection. He was baffled by the complexity of the eye and how it formed. But, Darwin still believed the eye did form by natural selection although there was no evidence to support his claim.(Lamb, 2014) Since eyes do not fossilize very well, it is hard for scientists to follow the development of the eye. In Darwin’s book, he wrote of stages that he believed the eyes might have undergone over time to evolve into the eyes we have today. Eyes range in complexity and in the type of organisms they appear in, from simple unicellular organisms with simple eyes, to multicellular organisms with extremely complex eyes. Eve...

  • Eye Evolution Essay

    An inspection of the modern animal phyla will reveal that eyes are just as diverse as they are complex. Some organisms like the rag worm have pigmented cup eyes while other like he box jellyfish have two lens eyes and two pairs of pigment pit eyes. To account for the diversity in eye structure, we must first examine the eye ‘prototype’, the original structure that was acted upon by evolution. The simplest organ that can be considered an eye is composed of a single photoreceptor cell and a single pigment cell, without any lens or other refractive body (Arendt, 2003). Such organs are know as eyespots, and...

    This protects the eye from becoming dry.The Cornea, a part of the sclera, is the transparent window of the eye through which light passes. The focusing of the light begins in the cornea.Behind the Cornea is a watery fluid called the aqueous humor. This fluid fills a curved, crescent shaped space, thick in the center and thinner toward the edges. The cornea and the aqueous humor together make an outer lens that refracts, or bends, light and dire...
