The HypothesesDemocritus• Matter composed of atoms
which are carried to the soul to be viewed
Empedocles • Matter composed of 4
elements• Earth, Air, Wind and Fire
and vision must be related to fire
• Light radiated from eyeGalen• Optic nerve conducted
visual spirits

Today we accept the following theories:
Sir Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens
•Particles of light (photons) travel in waves of various lengths
•Light enters the eye as it is reflected or transmitted from objects

Afterimages
Two types of afterimages:Positive Afterimage•Occurs after you look into a bright light
and then close your eyes•The image of the light can still be seen
even with eyes closedNegative Afterimage•Eye is exposed to bright coloured light for
an extended period of time

Focusing the ImageRefraction: slowing of light by dense
material (cornea)
•Light is first bent by the cornea toward the pupil
•It is further bent by the lens to a focal point behind the lens
•Image is projected on the retina

Accommodation
•The adjustment of the lens to objects far and near
•Objects up close pupil constricts in attempt to bring the image into focus
•Objects far away pupil dilates to in an attempt to capture light

Vision Defects
Glaucoma•Build-up of
aqueous humour•Ducts are blocked • Increases fluid
pressure•Lack of oxygen
and neurons can result in blindness

Cataract•Lens becomes
opaque•Prevents light
from passing through
•Solution: remove lens and use strong eyeglasses or replace with plastic lens

Myopia (nearsightedness)•Eye ball is too long•Distant image is brought into focus in
front of the retina
Hyperopia (farsightedness)•Eye ball is too short•Distant image is brought into focus
behind retina
