    The document summarizes the structure and functioning of the human eye. It describes the main parts of the eye like cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina and optic nerve. It explains how light enters the eye and forms an image on the retina. The document also discusses common eye defects like myopia, hypermetropia, presbyopia and cataract. It provides the causes and corrective lenses for different eye defects. Bifocal lenses are used to correct both myopia and hypermetropia. Important formulae for calculating far point in myopic and near point in hypermetropic eyes are also given.

    Class – X (2023-24)
    CH. 10. The Human Eye and the Colorful World RESOURCE SHEET: 1
    STRUCTURE OF HUMAN EYE

    1. EYEBALL: spherical in shape with a diameter of about 2-3cm.


    2. CORNEA: outermost thin membrane covering the eyeball, most of the refraction takes place here.
    3. IRIS: muscular colored part of the eye, controls the size of the pupil.
    4. PUPIL: a hole in the iris through which the light enters the eye. It regulates and controls the amount
    of light entering the eye.
    5. LENS: convex in nature, focuses the image on the retina. It is made of jelly like material and held in
    position by ciliary muscles.
    6. CILIARY MUSCLES: control the focal length of the lens by contracting & relaxing.
    7. RETINA: real & inverted image is formed on the retina which acts as a screen. This delicate
    membrane has light sensitive cells called rods & cones. Rods respond to the intensity of light and
    cones to the color. When light falls on them, they get activated and generate electric signals.
    8. OPTIC NERVE: carries electrical signals from retina to the brain.
    9. POWER OF ACCOMODATION OF HUMAN EYE: the ability of the eye to focus nearby as well as
    distant objects on the retina by changing the focal length of the lens. Power of accommodation of
    normal eye is 4D.
    10. Least distance of distinct vision: for normal human eye is 25cm. Also called Near point. It is the
    closest point at which an object can be seen clearly by an eye.
    11. Far point: The most distant point at which an object can be seen clearly by an eye is called the Far
    point. For a normal eye, it is infinity.
    12. Range of vision for normal human eye is 25cm to infinity.

    EYE DEFECTS
    1. MYOPIA (SHORT SIGHTEDNESS)
    In this defect a person can see nearby objects clearly but can’t see distant objects clearly. Image is
    formed in front of retina. Far point decreases.
    Causes : (i) eyeball elongates.
    (ii) focal length decreases or excessive curvature of the lens.
    corrective lens: Concave lens
    2. HYPERMETROPIA (FARSIGHTEDNESS)
    In this defect a person can see far away objects clearly but can’t see nearby objects clearly. Image
    formed
    behind retina. Near point increases.
    Cause: (i) eyeball shortens.
    (ii) increase of focal length or curvature of the lens decreases.
    Corrective lens: Convex lens

    3. PRESBYOPIA: Decreasing power of accommodation with ageing. Old person unable to read or write
    comfortably.
    Cause: gradual weakening of ciliary muscles. Eye lens loses its flexibility.
    corrective lens: Convex lens.
    4. CATARACT: a defect in which an opaque membrane is formed over the lens. Eyelens becomes hazy and
    may lead to loss in vision. It is corrected by surgery.
    BIFOCAL LENS: Spectacles with upper half, concave for distant vision and the lower half convex for nearby
    vision, are used when a person suffers from both myopia and hypermetropia. Such lens is called Bifocal lens.

    Important Formulae For Myopic Eye - Distance of far point = x


    u = ∞ (or distance given) v = -x so f = -x
    For Hypermetropic eye- u = -25cm v = near point (-x)
