The Triangle of Vision

Cornea, Lens, and Retina

The triangle of Cornea, Lens, and Retina represents the key components of the eye that work together to capture and process visual information, enabling the sense of sight. Each part plays a critical role in focusing light and converting it into signals the brain can interpret.

1. Cornea: The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped outer layer of the eye. It serves as the eye’s primary focusing mechanism, bending incoming light to direct it toward the lens. It also protects the eye from dirt, germs, and other harmful elements.

2. Lens: The lens is a flexible, transparent structure located behind the cornea. It fine-tunes the focus of light onto the retina, adjusting its shape to accommodate objects at varying distances, ensuring clear vision.

3. Retina: The retina is a light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. It captures focused light and converts it into electrical signals, which are sent to the brain for interpretation.

   
   

Balancing cornea, lens, and retina ensures clear, accurate vision.
