he sense organs — eyes, ears, tongue, skin, and nose — help to protect the body. The human sense organs contain receptors that relay information through sensory neurons to the appropriate places within the nervous system.
Each sense organ contains different receptors.
General receptors are found throughout the body because they are present in skin, visceral organs (visceral meaning in the abdominal cavity), muscles, and joints.
Special receptors include chemoreceptors (chemical receptors) found in the mouth and nose, photoreceptors (light receptors) found in the eyes, and mechanoreceptors found in the ears.
The eyes are delicate organs protected by the socket and eyelids. The eyelids blink to keep the eyes moist and clean with tears produced by tear glands. Tears contain lysozyme which destroys bacteria. The eyes contain three layers - the outer sclera, middle uvea including the iris and pupil, and inner retina. The retina contains rod and cone cells which enable vision and is connected to the brain via the optic nerve. The lens focuses light onto the retina, and the eye accommodates for near and far vision. Common vision defects include nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia, colorblindness, and glaucoma.

Dr. Sachin Kapur has over 20 years of teaching experience and has mentored over 4,00,000 students and teachers. He gives lectures on the eye which discuss the three coats of the eye, the lens, aqueous and vitreous humor, the retina including the structure and function of rods and cones, regional peculiarities of the retina like the blind spot and macula lutea, and image formation through refraction, accommodation, and pupil constriction. His lectures provide detailed yet concise explanations of key eye anatomy and physiology concepts.
The eye is composed of a series of lenses and spaces that give focus to images, just as a camera does. It is composed of the vitreous humor, aqueous humor, the crystalline lens, and the cornea, and each of these has its own refraction index (the average being 1.34, because of the content of these tissues).Functions
Pupil. Opens and closes in order to regulate and control the amount of light.
Iris. Controls light level similar to the aperture of a camera.
Sclera. Protects the outer coat.
Cornea. A thin membrane which provides 67% of the eye's focusing power.
Crystalline lens. ...
Conjunctive. ...
Aqueous humour.
Vitreous humour.
Light enters the eye through the pupil and is refracted by the cornea and lens to be focused on the retina. The retina contains light-sensitive photoreceptor cells that convert the light signal into electrical impulses. These impulses are carried by the optic nerve to the brain, which processes the visual information. The iris controls the size of the pupil to regulate the amount of light entering the eye, while the lens changes shape via ciliary muscles to focus light on the retina for clear vision at different distances.

7. Step 1: Detoxification (week1)
You are subjected to so
much nutritionally
Deficient foods and toxins
on a daily basis, that you
would be well advised to
start this plan by doing a
bit of cleansing and
detoxification. Here
we’ve chosen Oxy-Powder
- a top quality product to
begin with..
Note: Mild to moderate
exercise is also recommended
in this step.

nutrition products to find out more.
8. Step 2: Replenish (week 2)
After a week of cleansing, we have chosen Mila, which is
arguably the most nutritious source available today.
You can begin replenishing with
Mila - a product from life max, to
supplement deficiencies in your
diet. Because of the constant
administering of chemicals and
pesticides, our soil has become
more depleted and less capable of
producing nutritionally rich fruits
and vegetables. Now, even with a
healthy diet of fruits and
vegetables, doctors recommend
that you take some form of
supplement. This is the best source
that we have found.
9. Combine Mila With Your
Choice Of Vision Nutrition
Product/s
Our #1 choice for multivitamin, is one that contains lutein and
zeaxanthin , which is called “Eye Support “ by Dr. Mercola.
Dr. Mercola’s krill oil also gets the nod for best source of
omega 3 oil.

12. Vegetables For Better Vision
1. Green Leafy Vegetables
Dark leafy green vegetables like kale, spinach,
and broccoli are rich in the carotenoids lutein and
zeaxanthin. They are shown in studies to support
eye health.
Lutein is a powerful antioxidant used by your eyes
to absorb blue light. It is found in high
concentrations in your macula, the tiny central
part of your retina responsible for straight-ahead
and detailed vision. It is also found in the macular
pigment, which helps protect your central vision.
Studies show that people who ate foods high in
lutein and zeaxanthin reduced their risk of
macular degeneration. Those already suffering
from the condition experienced significant
improvements.
13. Fruits For Vision Improvement
2. Bilberry and Black Currant
Bilberries and black currant are rich in anthocyanins that are
found in the aqueous humor, the thick watery substance
filling the space between your lens and cornea. The aqueous
humor maintains the intraocular pressure, provides nutrition
for other ocular tissues, and helps transport antioxidants.
Anthocyanins in bilberries help protect and stimulate
rhodopsin, the purple pigment that helps your eyes adapt to
light and darkness and is important for night vision. Black
currant anthocyanins, on the other hand, help improve visual
acuity.
3. Avacado
According to a study from University of California in Los
Angeles (UCLA), avocados have nearly twice as much vitamin
E as previously reported, making avocados the highest fruit
source of the powerful antioxidant, reports BW HealthWire..
The research also showed that avocados are the highest fruit
source of lutein among the 20 most frequently consumed
fruits. Lutein is a carotenoid, which helps protect against eye Avocado Recipes??

disease such as cataracts and macular degeneration, the
leading cause of blindness in the elderly.
14. Seafood For Better Vision
3. Krill, Salmon and Shellfish
krill, Salmon, crab, lobster, and other
shellfish contain asthaxanthin, the
carotenoid that gives them their pink
and reddish colors. Astaxanthin
closely resembles lutein and
zeaxanthin.
