Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The mechanism by which the convex and concave corrective lenses alter the path of light refraction.
Introduction: The eye is divided into various parts based on the functions performed. The lens is the transparent, biconvex structure that is located at the front portion of the eye and functions to refract the light along with the cornea.
(b)
To determine: The type of lens that is used to correct myopia.
Introduction: The shape of the lens can be altered in some individuals which leads to the decrease in the property of vision. When the image is formed in front of the retina, the disease is called myopia.
To determine: The type of lens that is used to correct hyperopia.
Introduction: The shape of the lens is changed in some individuals which leads to the decrease in the property of vision. When the image is formed beyond the retina, it is called hyperopia.

- Term one defect of vision which cannot be corrected by any type of spectacle lenses?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true regarding the fovea centralis of the eye? A) 100% cones B) 100% rods C) 50% rods and 50% cones D) 0% rods or cones - blind spot E)located in the central portion of the lensarrow_forwardA person with a myopic eye cannot see objects beyond 1.2 m distinctly. What should be the corrective lens used to restore proper vision?arrow_forward
- what will happen if an eyeglasses has: a. two converging lens (explain) b. two diverging lens (explain) c. both converging and diverging lens (explain) P.S. This is not a multiple choice question thank Youarrow_forwardThe defect of myopia can be corrected by using:(a) Concave lens(b) Convex lens(c) Either concave or convex(d) A complicated combination of lenses.arrow_forwardThe focal length of the eye lens increases when eye muscles:(a) are relaxed and lens becomes thinner(b) contract and lens becomes thicker(c) are relaxed and lens becomes thicker(d) Contract and lens becomes thinner.arrow_forward
- What is optic chiasm?arrow_forwardplease select all correct options In the eye A) contraction of the ciliary muscles decreases the curvature of the lens. B) lateral inhibition by horizontal cells increases visual contrast. C) there are more cones in the fovea of the retina than there are rods. D) the rods take less than three minutes to fully adapt to dim illumination. E) visual acuity is best at the optic disc.arrow_forwardExplain why rod vision may be more important under dim light conditions.arrow_forward
- Albinism is a condition in which melanin pigment is not made. How do you think vision is affected by albinism? When Mrs. Martinez visits her opthalmologist, she complains of pain in her right eye. the intraocular pressure is found to be abnormally elevated. What is the name of Mrs. Martinez's probable condition? What causes it? What might be the outcome if the problem is not corrected?arrow_forwardb) When the muscles connected to the crystalline lens contract fully, its focal length is 16.5000 cm. With this focal length, how far away must an object be to form sharply focused images on the retina? (Note: this distance is called the far point of vision.)arrow_forwardName one defect of vision which cannot be corrected by any type of spectacle lenses?arrow_forward
