Charleston Eye Care Your Eye Health, eyes are the organs of vision. They detect light and convert it into
electro-chemical impulses in neurons. The simplest photoreceptor cells in conscious vision connect light
to movement.
In higher organisms the eye is a complex optical system which collects light from the surrounding
environment, regulates its intensity through a diaphragm, focuses it through an adjustable assembly of
lenses to form an image, converts this image into a set of electrical signals, and transmits these signals
to the brain through complex neural pathways that connect the eye via the optic nerve to the visual
cortex and other areas of the brain.
About Your Eyes - Charleston Eye Care
The eye is not shaped like a perfect sphere, rather it is a fused two-piece unit. The smaller frontal unit,
more curved, called the cornea is linked to the larger unit called the sclera. The corneal segment is
typically about 8 mm or .3 inches in radius.
To see inside the eye, an ophthalmoscope is needed, since light is not reflected out. The fundus, which is
the area opposite the pupil, shows the characteristic pale optic disk, where vessels entering the eye pass
across and optic nerve fibers depart the globe.
