DEFECTS AND CORRECTION
3. The human eye is a sensory organ, part of
the sensory nervous system, that reacts to
visible light and allows humans to use visual
information which is then taken to brain and
is analysed there.

5. Humans have two eyes, situated on the left
and the right of the face. The eyes sit in
bony cavities called the orbits, in the skull.
The size of the eye differs among adults by
only one or 2 millimetres.
7. The eye is made up of three coats, or layers,
enclosing various anatomical structures.
The outermost layer, known as the fibrous
tunic, is composed of the cornea and sclera,
which provide shape to the eye and support
the deeper structures.
The middle layer, consists of the choroid,
ciliary body, pigmented epithelium and iris.
The innermost is the retina

9. Iris: A dark muscular tissue and ring-like structure
behind the cornea is known as the iris. The iris also
helps regulate or adjust exposure by adjusting the
iris.
Pupil: A small opening in the iris is known as a pupil.
Its size is controlled with the help of iris.
Lens: Behind the pupil, there is a transparent
structure called a lens. By the action of cilliary
muscles, it changes its shape to focus light on the
retina.
Retina: It is a light-sensitive layer that consists of
numerous nerve cells. It converts images formed by
the lens into electrical impulses.
Optic nerves: Optic nerves are of two types. These
include cones and rods.

11. Some of the common defects
of vision are:
(i) Myopia or near-sightedness
(ii) Hypermetropia or far-
sightedness
(iii) Presbyopia
12. Myopia is commonly known as near-
sightedness. In this condition, the person can
see the objects nearby but cannot see
distant objects clearly.
Correction : When a concave lens of suitable
power is used, it assists in focusing the image
onto the retina.

14. Hypermetropia is commonly known as far-
sightedness. In this condition, the person can
see objects at a distance but cannot see
nearby objects clearly.
Correction : Using spectacles with a
converging lens imparts additional focusing
power and thus helps form the image on the
retina.

16. PresbyopiaWe know that along with age, the
power of the accommodation factor to adjust
the focal length also decreases.
Correction : This condition can be corrected
by using proper eyeglasses or contact lenses.
