Q

why can’t we distinguish colors in moonlight

A

in moonlight rods/rhodopsin helps us to see whereas cones/iodopsin helps us to see color vision which only gets activated only in bright light

17
Q

what is the function of the iris

A

regulates the amount of light entering the eye

18
Q

which is the part of the human eye that contains both rods and cones

19
Q

what is presbyopia

A

it is the long-sightedness in elderly people in which eye lens loses flexibility

20
Q

what does the optic nerve do

A

carries visual stimuli from the retina to the brain

21
Q

what is the main function of the vitreous humor

A

it is the jelly-like substance that gives shape to the eyeballs

22
Q

what causes myopia

A

the eyeball is lengthened from front to back

the lens becomes too curved

23
Q

what causes hypermetropia

A

the eyeball is shortened

the lens becomes flat

24
Q

what is cataract

A

the lens becomes opaque and vision is cut down to total blindness

25
the eye defect in which the cornea becomes uneven
astigmatism
26
why does one feel blinded for a short amount of time after coming out of a dark room
a person feels blinded for a short while on coming out of a dark room due to light adaptation. This happens because the diameter of the pupil is reduced to allow less light to enter the eyes
27
what is the power of accommodation of the eye
the power to adjust the focal length of the eye is called the power of accommodation of the eye
28
which cell is responsible for vision in the dark
Rods
29
which structure protects the eye from sweat
eyebrows
30
what is stereoscopic vision
it is the phenomenon of simultaneous focusing of an object in both eyes whose images by a kind of overlapping in the brain gives the 3-dimensional effect
31
the function of the choroid layer
supplies blood and nourishes the retina
32
what is the function of the suspensory ligaments
they hold the lens in position.
33
what is the location of the fovea
the fovea is also called the yellow spot of the eye
34
what is the function of the fovea
it is the place where the most acute image is formed
35
which lens is used to correct hyperopia
convex lens
36
which lens is used to correct myopia
concave lens
37
what is hyperopia also called
hypermetropia
