Main Parts of the Eye

Understanding the anatomy of the eye is essential for comprehending how we see. Here are some key parts of the eye you should get familiar with:

  • Cornea: The clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye and helps focus light.

  • Iris: The colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil and regulates the amount of light entering the eye.

  • Pupil: The opening in the center of the iris that allows light to enter the eye.

  • Lens: A transparent structure that further focuses light onto the retina.

  • Retina: The light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that converts light into electrical signals sent to the brain.

  • Optic Nerve: The nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain.

  • Macula: The area of the retina responsible for sharp central vision.

  • Vitreous Humor: The gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina, helping maintain the eye's shape.
