SUBJECT: SCIENCE TOPIC: HUMAN EYE AND THE COLOURFUL WORLD

1. Draw a well labeled diagram of Human eye also write the functions of:

a. Iris muscles

b. Ciliary muscles

c. Pupil

d. Cornea

e. Retina

f. Optic nerve.

a. Iris muscles
I) provides pigmentation to the eye ball.
II) Regulates the size of pupil

b. Ciliary muscles
I) keep the lens in its position
ii) helps the eyelens to change its focal length
c. Pupil-allows the light rays to enter the eye.
d. Cornea-Light enters the eye through a thin membrane called the cornea
e. Retina – image is formed at retina.
f. Optic nerve - send signals to the brain about the image formed at retina

2. What do you understand by the term power of accommodation?


The ability of the eye lens to adjust its focal length is called power of
accommodation .

3. What is Myopia? Write its causes. Draw the diagram of a myopic eye. Show the

correction by drawing the diagram of a corrected eye.

Myopia is also known as near-sightedness. A person with myopia can see

nearby objects clearly but cannot see distant objects distinctly .

In a myopic eye, the image of a distant object is formed in front of the retina

and not at the retina itself. This defect may arise due to (i) excessive

curvature of the eye lens, or (ii) elongation of the eyeball. This defect can

be corrected by using a concave lens of suitable power. A concave lens of

suitable power will bring the image back on to the retina and thus the

defect is corrected.
4. What is Hypermetropia? Write its causes. Draw the diagram of a myopic

eye. Show the correction by drawing the diagram of a corrected eye.

5. What is Presbyopia? Write its causes? Which lens is used to correct it?
Presbyopia: is a defect of vision in which person find difficult to see the nearby
object as well as distinct objects clearly.

Causes
6. This defect of vision arises due to the weakness of ciliary muscle in old age
person.
7. Due to loss of elasticity to change the focal length of a lens it causes
decreasing the flexibility of eye lens.

This defect of vision corrected by using the suitable lens called " bifocal lens".in this
type of lens the lower portion is a convex lens to focus close object. And the upper
portion is a concave lens to focus on the far object.
