Eye Lecture




We had a guest lecture named Dr. Pamela Fong where she taught us the eye anatomy.


the basic anatomy of the eyes is...




  • iris- the colored part of the eye


  • pupil- controls how much light enters the eyeball


  • cornea- focuses the eyes


  • lens- focus light onto the back of the eye


  • retina- a fine line of tissue that lines the inner part of the eye


  • optic nerve- transmits impulses from the retina to the brain
Dr. Fong also told us facts about the eye usual people do not know.
  • You are able to tell if a person has high cholesterol or blood pressure
  • people with different color eyes have different retinas
  • everyones eyes differ
