Ocular Anatomy
Ocular anatomy refers to the structure and organization of the eye, which is essential for vision. The main parts include the cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve. The cornea is the clear front surface that helps focus light, while the lens further refines this focus. The retina contains light-sensitive cells that convert light into electrical signals.
The optic nerve transmits these signals to the brain, where they are interpreted as images. Other important components include the iris, which controls the amount of light entering the eye, and the pupil, the opening in the center of the iris.
