LIGHTy DEFINITION Energy to which eye is sensitive
y UNIT FOR MEASURING LIGHT
y ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
y OPTICAL RADIATION
y 7 WAVES BANDS OF OPTICAL RAD
UVC 200 280nm , UVB 280 315nm
UVA 315 400nm, Visible Rad 400 -780nm
IRA 780 -1400nm IRB 1400 -3000nmIRC 3000 - 10000 nm

LIGHTy Shorter the wave length greater the energy.
y Cornea and sclera absorbs UVC and UVB also IRB and IRC.
y UVA is absorbed by the lens.

How we see ?y Best understood by comparison with a camera.

y CAMERA
y uses a shutterwith a
small, central opening toadmit light
y lens focuses the light, tomake a sharp image onfilm
y The "developing process"involves light-sensitive imagepreservation on film which islater on converted intopositive
y HUMANEYE
y Uses pupil to admit
appropriate lighty lens assumes a globular
or flat shape to formimage on retina
y The "developing process"involves light-sensitivereceptor cells on the retina -the rods and cones.

RETINA (Contd)RODS AND CONES (PHOTORECEPTORS)
y Are light sensitive element ofretina
y Rods function at low level of illumination (Scotopic vision)
y Cones function at medium and high level of illumination (Photopic vision)
y Cones are mainlyfound in fovea
y Rods are mainlyfound in peripheral retina
y
Outer segment of
photoreceptors are removed diurnally andregenerated by inner segment

RODS AND CONES (Contd)y Outer segment contain light sensitive pigment i.e. Rhodopsin in
rods and three photopigments in cones
y Axons of Rods and Cones synapse with bipolar cells and
amacrine cells which in turn synapse with ganglion cellsy Axons of ganglion cells form optic nerve which extend to brain
y Sensory retina contain 100 million rods and 6 million cones
y Optic disc has no photoreceptors and is a blind spot in the visualfield

y The rodcellscontainrhodopsin, a protein
partially derivedfromvitamin A.
y Rods are sensitive tolight and enable us to see
in dim light.y The conecells, contain
iodopsin, are used forfine details and bright,
color vision.

y Humans have three types
ofcones, each sensitiveto a different color oflight: red, blue and green
y Center ofthe macula :

we do not see with our eyes but, rather, with
our brains. Our eyes merely are the beginnings
of the visual process.
