What part of the eye is the image formed?
retina
Light enters the eye through the transparent cornea, passes through the aqueous humor, the lens, and the vitreous humor, where it finally forms an image on the retina (see Figure 1).
What is the back of the eye called?
Retina
Retina. The light-sensitive nerve layer that lines the inside of the back of the eye. The retina senses light and creates impulses that are sent through the optic nerve to the brain. Sclera.
What part of the eye focuses light to the back of the eye?
The cornea and the lens help to focus the light rays onto the back of the eye (retina). The cells in the retina absorb and convert the light to electrochemical impulses which are transferred along the optic nerve and then to the brain.
What’s behind the retina?
The inside lining of the eye is covered by special light-sensing cells that are collectively called the retina. It converts light into electrical impulses. Behind the eye, your optic nerve carries these impulses to the brain. The macula is a small extra-sensitive area in the retina that gives you central vision.
How an image is formed?
An image is formed because light emanates from an object in a variety of directions. Each one of these rays of light can be extended backwards behind the mirror where they will all intersect at a point (the image point).
What is the under part of your eye called?
Behind the anterior chamber is the eye’s iris (the colored part of the eye) and the dark hole in the middle called the pupil. Muscles in the iris dilate (widen) or constrict (narrow) the pupil to control the amount of light reaching the back of the eye. Directly behind the pupil sits the lens.
Which part sends light or color information to the back of the brain?
optic nerve
The retina is a soft, light-sensitive layer of nervous system tissue. The optic nerve carries signals from the retina to the brain, which interprets them as visual images.
What is the inner part of the eye called?
The inner layer is the retina, which lines the back two-thirds of the eyeball.
