What part of the eye does a water drop act like?

The cornea or lens of the eye.


Does the anterior part of cornea act as contact lens?

No, the anterior part of the cornea does not function as a contact lens. The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped front part of the eye that helps to focus light onto the retina. Contact lenses are external devices that are placed directly onto the cornea to correct vision or change its appearance.


How does lasik eye surgery aid the human eye to see objects?

It changes the shape of the cornea, which changes the focal length. Both the cornea and the lens act together (like a compound camera lens) to focus the image on the retina.

What part of the eye acts like a convex lens?

The cornea, which is the transparent outer covering of the eye, acts as a convex lens by focusing light onto the retina.


How do you make a working model of human eye?

first learn about the power of each elements of human eye like cornea, lens...then we can get the commercial lens and can be mounted in mechanical assembly.


In what body part can an astigmatism occur?

The eye. Astigmatism is when the cornea (the clear dome that covers the pupil) or the lens of your eye is not its usual perfectly round shape. Instead it's an oval shape, a bit like a rugby ball.


What is covering the eye's lens?

The lens of the eye is covered by the cornea, a clear outer covering that helps to focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye.


What is vitreous humour in the eye?

There are two "humours" in the eye. The aquious (I think I misspelled it) is a fairly light liquid between the cornea and the lens. Between the lens and the retina is the vitreous humour, a viscous, jelly like substance.


Posterior and anterior chambers of the eye?

The anterior chamber is the space between the cornea and the iris, filled with aqueous humor. The posterior chamber is the space between the iris and the lens, also filled with aqueous humor. Both chambers help maintain the shape of the eye and provide important nutrients to the surrounding tissues.


Function of the eye cornea?

Because the cornea is as smooth and clear as glass but is strong and durable, it helps the eye in two ways 1. It helps to shield the rest of the eye from germs, dust, and other harmful matter. The cornea shares this protective task with the eyelids, the eyesocket, tears, and the sclera, or white part of the eye 2. The cornea acts as the eye's outermost lens. It functions like a window that controls and focuses the entry of light into the eye. The cornea contributes between 65-75 percent of the eye's total focusing power. When light strikes the cornea, it bend-or retracts-the incoming light onto the lens. The lens further refocuses that light into the retina, a layer of light sensing cells lining the back of the eye that starts the translation of light into vision. For you to see clearly, light rays must be focused by the cornea and lens to fall precisely on the retina. The retina converts the light rays into impulses that are sent through the optic nerve to the brain, which interprets them as images


What does a beam of light pass throgh to get to the retina?

To reach the retina, a beam of light passes through the cornea, aqueous humor, pupil, lens, and vitreous humor in the eye. These structures help to focus the light onto the retina at the back of the eye where visual information is processed.
