    Grade 9 Human Eye & EarPart II

    The human eye is able to focus on both near and far objects by adjusting the curvature of the lens, which changes the focal length - a flatter lens is used for distant vision and a more curved lens is used for near vision. Common eye defects occur when the eye is unable to properly adjust the focal length of the lens or the distance between the lens and retina is altered. The document also discusses binocular and stereoscopic vision, various eye diseases like cataracts and glaucoma, eye infections, and prevention of eye health problems.

    Human Eye and Ear - Part II

    How do we see far objects as well as close objects by the same lens in the eye?

    By looking at the above diagram, it is clear that we cannot change the focal length of
    the as the eye structure is a fixed one with the aqueous and vitreous humour. Instead,
    the lens can be change with its curvature to set the appropriate focal distance.

    An image formed from a far object on the retina of eye –


    Less curvature of the lens.
    Lesser refraction/bending of light
    rays.
    Adjust the lens as thinner to make a
    longer focal length.
    Clear image of a distant picture on the
    retina.

    An image formed from a close object on the retina of eye –


    Higher curvature of the lens.
    More refraction/bending of light rays.
    Adjust the lens as broader to make a shorter
    focal length.
    Clear image on retina by adjusting the
    curvature of the lens by the ciliary muscles.
    Eye defects:
    When the eyeball becomes shorter or longer the distance between lens and the retina
    varies.
    Also, when the eye is unable to adjust the focal length of its lens to the needed level,
    then the image formation changes too. These kinds of situations are called eye
    defects. There are two main eye defects as Hypermetropia and myopia.
    For your reference only. No need of copying.
    Binocular vision and stereoscopic vision:
    The eyes of human, monkey, chimpanzee, gorilla and loris are located in front position
    of the skull. So, there is a greater chance of seeing the same area with both eyes.
    As a result of this overlap of vision, binocular vision provides depth. Stereoscopic
    nature is the impression of depth that is perceived when a scene is viewed with both
    eyes by someone with normal binocular vision.
    Mammals such as cattle, dog, tiger have no ability to look at the same area using both
    eyes. But they have the ability to look more areas separately using each eye.
    Eye diseases
    1. Cataract
    o A cataract is a cloudiness or opacity in normally transparent crystalline lens
    of the eye.
    o It happens because of the denaturing of proteins in the eye lens.
    o Then, eye lens turns in to milky colour.
    Causes:
    age
    genetic factors
    ultra violet rays reach the Earth through holes of the ozone
    2. Glaucoma
    o The gradually reduces the visual range of the eye.
    o leads to blindness due to the damage of the optic nerve.
    o If detected at the first stage further increase of glaucoma can be controlled.
    o one of the leading causes of blindness for people over the age of 60.
    o Glaucoma is a chronic, progressive eye disease caused by damage to the optic
    nerve,
    Causes:
    usually, the result of high blood pressure inside the eye.
    with diabetes has an increased risk of developing glaucoma.
    (The damage caused to the eye cannot be reversed again.)

    Not for copying.


    Eye infections:
    Eye infections by viruses known as "sore eyes"
    Symptoms:
    Reddening of eye and secretion of tears.
    Spreads:
    through insects ('Konduruwa') and by contact.
    It can be cured by medical treatments
    Prevention from health problems related to eye:
