defects of vision and their correction

Defects of Vision - A normal eye can see all objects over a wide range of distances i.e., from 25 cm to infinity. But due to certain abnormalities the eye is not able see objects over such a wide range of distances and such an eye is said to be defective. Some of the h..

Refraction of Light..

Introduction - You have studied in the previous chapter about refraction of light by lenses and also about the nature, position and relative size of images formed by lenses. How can these ideas help us in the study of the human eye? The human eye uses light and enables us to see objects around us. ..

Thus, this chapter on refraction helps us understand many natural phenomena like the twinkling of stars, the sparkling of diamonds, mirage etc. It also throws light on the working of the human eye and the defects of vision..

It is used in spectacles for correcting myopia. along with convex lens it is used to overcome defects like chromatic aberration and spherical aberration (the failure of rays to converge at one focus because of a defect in a lens or mirror..

The light coming from an object enters the eye through cornea and pupil. The eye lens converges these light rays to form a real, inverted and diminished image on the retina. The light sensitive cells of the retina gets activated with the incidence of light and generate electric signals. These elec..
