Definition:
Main components of the human eye include:
The retina - Light-sensitive layer at the back of the eyeball onto which
incoming light is focused. It contains cells that respond to colours, different
shades of grey, and movement. These cells trigger nerve impulses that are
carried by the optic nerve to the brain, where a visual image is formed.
The cornea - The dome-shaped, transparent layer that forms the front of the
eyeball. It bends light entering the eye into the lens, and hence helps to focus
images onto the retina. It contains no blood vessels and is extremely sensitive
to pain.
The lens - Transparent elastic structure situated behind the pupil of the eye
that focuses incoming light onto the retina. Muscles in the eye can adjust the
shape of the lens and make it more flattened to focus on distant objects, or
make it more rounded to focus on near objects.
The vitreous humour - The transparent jelly-like substance that fills the
eyeball between the lens and the retina.
