Explain why a person with normal binocular vision isable to judge distance and depth of close objects moreaccurately than a person who has lost one eye.
In a condition called presbyopia, the eyes’ lenses lose muchof their elasticity and maintain a flat shape. How wouldyou expect this condition to affect a person’s vision?

Match the labelled eye structure with the correct eye condition or eye function.
Contains the photoreceptors (rods and cones)
Glaucoma results if this fluid is not drained properly
Sensory neurons to the brain
: Captures stray light and contains nourishing blood vessels
Contains a high concentration of cones
Cataracts can develop in this structure
Refracts (bends) light rays into the eye
The blind spot: no photoreceptors are located here
Protects and supports the eyeball
Supports the eyeball with the gel-like fluid

- What is meant by the statement Vision happens mainly in the brain?arrow_forwardWatch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/pupillary) to learn about the pupillary reflexes. The pupillary light reflex involves sensory input through the optic nerve and motor response through the oculomotor nerve to the ciliary ganglion, which projects to the circular fibers of the iris. As shown in this short animation, pupils will constrict to limit the amount of light falling on the retina under bright lighting conditions. What constitutes the afferent and efferent branches of the competing reflex (dilation)?arrow_forwardThe cone photoreceptors are used for O color; fovea centralis O black and white; fovea centralis black and white; sclera layer O color; sclera layer vision and are found in the part of the eye.arrow_forward

If you see it from the “corner of your eye” and then turn to look at it, it may disappear. Explain how this occurs. Also, you can staredirectly at an object in daylight and continue seeing it, despite the bleaching of photoreceptors. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forward
