Optics of the Eye
The component of the eye is optically same as the usual photographic camera. It has a cornea, pupil, lens and retina. (1)
Cornea
The cornea of the eye is transparent, curved that acts as the cap of the eye which protects the eye from dirt, microorganisms and other harmful substances.(2) It is also important for about 75% of the eyesight. Its clarity and the curvature will affects the eye by how greatly it can focus on an object and produce an image. However, 10% of the incident light will be blocked in normal human cornea. (1)
By contrast, the cornea of an eagle is practically as clear as crystal. This together with bigger pupil and sharpened cone diameter results in a higher quality vision. This is why the visual acuity of the eagle eye is sharper. Normally, human with a perfect vision, their peripheral surface of the cornea will be flatter, and the center will be steeper which work against the paraxial ray that will arch more at peripheral fields. The “Q” factor also known as the eccentricity factor, assess the quantity of the central-periphery flattening and approximate to -0.25 in normal eye. If it shows more negative amount highlights that the cornea is steeper than normal. (1)
Pupil

The size of the pupil is firmly linked with the visual acuity. Visual acuity has improved because background lighting rises up to 3400cd/m caused by the blockage of the paraxial ray. Therefore, the peripheral shape of the cornea is require to be controlled in order to deliver more light into the eye.
Peripheral vision is used amongst every species ranging from a deep-sea marine animal to a bird flying hundreds of feet above the ground. However, each species’ vision differs to some degree and also differentiates within the species itself. This can be due to various types of eye conditions.
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...
the eyes had densely packed lenses and may have served merely as a light sensitive
The snail in the edge of Italian Renaissance painting is the detail that definitely attracts certain attention to it. Daniel Arasse, a French art historian, tries to express the reason why the snail is there in his essay “The Snail’s Gaze”.
The optical lenses of the eyes are used to focus light. The light that penetrates the lens is controlled by the iris, which constricts and dilates in response to varying light conditions. Controlling the amount of light that reaches the lens, and subsequently the photoreceptors in the pigmented retina, is not enough to adequately discern images in three dimensions. The lens is therefore responsible for adjusting to conditions based on how far away or near an object is that is being viewed. To view something relatively close, the lens is bent to form a more spherical shape by the ciliary body muscles. Likewise, to view further distanced objects, the lens must undergo accommodation
The five senses include sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing. Sight is the power of seeing objects and people. To see we use our eyes, our eye is a sphere with a diameter of about 2.5 cm or 1 inch. Our eyes include the eyebrows, eyelids, conjunctiva, lacrimal apparatus, and extrinsic eye muscles. The eyelids are thin, skin covered folds supported by the connective tissue sheets called tarsal plates and are separated by the palpebral fissure and meet at medial and lateral angles of the eye. The eyelid muscle cause blinking every 3-7 seconds and when the objects get in your eye, the flexibility is activated to protect the eye. The eyelashes also protect the eye. Anything that touches the eyelashes is blown away because it will cause your eye to blink. The conjunctiva in our eyes is a mucous membrane; it helps to line the eyelids. The function of the conjunctiva is to produce a lubricating mucus that prevents the eyes from drying out. A conjunctival sac is where contact lens lies and occurs when the eyes are closed and a slit like space occurs. An inflammation of the conjunctiva is called conjunctivitis and happens when the eye get red and really irritated. The lacrimal apparatus in our eyes drains the lacrimal secretions into the nasal cavity. The lacrimal fluid in the eye cleans and protects eye as it moistens. The fluid contains mucous, antibodies, and lysosome. The extrinsic eye muscles originate and insert into outer surface of the eyeball. The extrinsic eye muscles allow the eye to follow a moving object and provide wires to maintain shape of eyeball and hold it in orbit. When movements of these muscles are not the same, a person cannot focus on images correctly and see two images instead. The eye is called an eyeball and ha...
This is a representation of the eye's lens system. This eye has no eye condition, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, and the lens is drawn in its relaxed position. The light rays are focused appropriately on the retina. The thickness of the cornea is 0.449 mm, the distance from the cornea to the lens is 2.
“Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you”- Marilyn Monroe. In the Egyptian myth, the Eye of Horus, Seth’s(Set) jealousy of Horus influenced Seth to make irrational decisions. The Eye of Horus is an Egyptian myth that is told with differing variables(for example, what happens to the eye after it is removed from Horus), and how the eye itself affected people’s everyday lives. The representation of the Eye is something that people reference even today. People use it now to portray a specific meaning.

Even though Elif Shafak’s style is not that of a traditional narrative, through the use of stream of consciousness, repetition of passages, and the integration of the gaze dictionary, she effectively provides insight on the major thematic issue of the gaze. The Gaze has a structure in which the stories and characters are physically separated but connected through the theme of the gaze. The stories range from 17th century Siberia to modern Istanbul. In the novel, an obese lady and a dwarf fall in love with each other. The two are attracted to the uniqueness of the other that separates them from society and labels them as freaks.
The incredible thing about the human eye is that it can see objects to as far as 2 miles long.That’s almost 35 football fields! Let’s consider the mechanics of the eye. The eye is a clear ball with water-like fluids in there.You have the front of the eyeball which is translucent called the cornea. It’s extremely thin and its job is to protect the eye by refracting light that comes through. The next part of the eye is the pupil, which mostly everyone knows about.It is the black portion in your eye. Did you know that it gets its color from when light entering the eye is absorbed and it doesn’t leave the eye. You may also notice that when you’re looking at the pupil, you can see a different colored circle in them. This is called the iris, and it varies among everyone. Your actual eye color is determined by a pigment in the iris.The genes from your parents set a human’s eye color. The iris’s job is to widen or close depending on how bright or dark it is. If its bright and the sun is basically beaming down on you, the iris will adjust so your pupil will get smaller to only let a certain amount of light in. If you’re in the dark, your iris adjusts so your pupil will get bigger so a greater...
Accommodation of the eye is the changes of the optics of the eye to keep an object in fixate on the retina as its distance from the optical perceiver fluctuates. It is the procedure of correcting the central length of a lens. The ability of the eye to perform accommodation, a complex function is an argument that shows that the eye was created by an intelligent being, God. This can be compared to the cones and rods, the lens, muscles and other parts of the eye. Cones and rod helps a being see black and white and also color. The lens help focuses the eye to form clear images. The muscles in the eye help the eye rotate and move in many directions like up and down and side to
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...
