How does vision work?
fourth step of processing red light
cones sense the red light and send the message along the optic nerve to the brain
accommodation
focusing on objects at varying distances
third step of processing red light
lens bends (refracts) light so it focuses on the retina
first step of processing red light
light passes through cornea and aqueous humor
second step of processing red light
light passes through the pupil and hits the lens
bincocular vision
provides depth perception by combining images from both eyes
how is your eye able to focus on images from varying distances?
the ciliary body adjusts the shape of the lens so it focuses the image on the retina
fifth step of processing red light
the input is processed in the occipital lobe
refraction
when light rays bend moving between substances of different densities
