How does the eye see?

A human eye works on the same principle as a camera. Just as a camera lens is focused on an object to form an image on film, the cornea and lens of the eye focus to form images on the retina. These are then transmitted to the brain.

What are the Basics needed for normal vision?

As with most functions of the body, vision depends on the condition and upkeep of the key elements of an eye.

For normal vision:

The cornea must be clear, free of any distortion and moist on the surface

The lens must be crystal clear and without significant cataract

The retina must have no degeneration

The Optic Nerve must be normal

The eye pressure must be within normal limits

Diseases and treatments
