Introduction

Our Eye is a window to the world. Made up of 5 Important parts.

1. CORNEA
2. CHAMBER WITH FLUID
3. LENS
4. RETINA
5. OPTIC NERVE

CORNEA.

It is a transparent part of eye. Light rays can pass through it as through a glass piece. This layer is continuous with conjunctiva & sclera.

CHAMBER WITH FLUID

Just behind this is a fluid filled chamber maintaining intra ocular pressure. Fluid m this chamber is filtered through small openings. Blocking of these pores leads to increased pressure with in the eye known as Glaucoma.

LENS.

Transparent part made up of proteins. & plays a major role in focusing object from distance to near. In young and in adults it is transparent As the age advances it becomes non transparent (opaque) and prevents the light entering in the eye. This is called a Cataract

RETINA.

Innermost part of the eye. It is nothing but multiple layers of neurons. This layer perceives the images & converts these images into electrical impulses, which propagates the message to the brain via the optic nerve. The Retina is prone to many vascular diseases like diabetes & hypertension.

OPTIC NURVE.

It is like an electric cord where nerve impulses from retina are carried to the brain. Whenever there is  increased pressure in die eye functioning ability of die nerve comes down which can lead to blindness.
