PHYSIOLOGY OF EYE
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 3
DETERMINATION OF DISTANCE OF AN OBJECT FROM THE EYE—“DEPTH PERCEPTION” The ability to determine
distance is called depth perception.
A person normally perceives distance by three major means: (1) the sizes of the images of
known objects on the retina (2) the phenomenon of
moving parallax, (3) the phenomenon of
stereopsis, binocular Vision.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 4
by using this mechanism of moving parallax, one can tell the relative distances of different objects even though only one eye is used.
It is almost entirely this moving or binocular parallax (or stereopsis) that gives a person with two eyes far greater ability to judge relative distances when objects are nearby than a person who has only one eye.
However, stereopsisis virtually useless for depth perception at distances beyond 50 to 200 feet.

OPTHALMOSCOPE An instrument to examine the
inside of eye, especially the retina and optic disc
It has a light source on the end.
Eye can be magnified.
We can look directly through the pupil to the back of eye.

VISUAL ACUITY Ability of the eye to
determine the precise shape and details of the object is called visual acuity
For humans, it is 30 seconds of an arc.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 11
SNELLEN’S CHART IS USE FOR DISTANT VISION
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 12
METHOD FOR STATING VISUAL ACUITY Chart for testing eyes consists of
letters of different sizes placed 20 feet ( 6 meters) away from the person being tested.
Person is said to have normal vision if he can see the letters from the distance of 20 feet or 6 meters. so he have vision of 20/20 or 6/6

COLOR VISION BY CONES PHOTOCHEMICALS in cones have almost the same
composition as Rhodopsin in Rods.
Protein portion (opsins) in cones are called Photopsins.
The color sensitive pigments of the cones, are the combinations of retinal and photopsins.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 14
Cones are selectively sensitive to different colours:
BlueGreenRed
Only one of three types of color pigments is present in each of the different cones
These color pigments are respectively called:Blue-sensitive pigmentGreen sensitive pigment Red-sensitive pigment
YOUNG-HELMHOLTZ THEORY(theory of trichromatic color vision)
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 15
ABSORPTION CHARACTERSTICS OF PIGMENTS
BLUE SENSITIVE PIGMENTSPeak absorbance of light wavelength 445nm
GREEN SENSITIVE PIGMENTSPeak absorbance of light wavelength 535nm
RED SENSITIVE PIGMENTSPeak absorbance of light wavelength 570nm
RHODOPSIN Peak absorbance of light wavelength 505nm

HOW RETINA DETECTS THE DIFFERENT GRADATIONS OFCOLOR IN THE VISUAL SPECTRUM?
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 17
TRICOLOR MECHANISM OF COLOR DETECTION
Human eye can detect all gradations of colors.
Red, green & blue monochromatic light mixed in different combinations.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 18
INTERPRETATION OF COLORS IN CNS.
Orange monochromatic light stimulates:
Red cones-------99%.
Green cones -----42%.
Blue cones---------0%.
Ratio of stimulation -------99:42:0.
CNS interprets this ratio as sensation of orange color.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 19
INTERPRETATION OF COLORS IN CNS
Blue monochromatic light stimulates
Red cones-------0%.
Green cones -----0%.
Blue cones---------97%.
Ratio of stimulation -------0:0:97
CNS interprets this ratio as sensation of blue color.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 20
INTERPRETATION OF COLORS IN CNS
Ratio of 83:83:0-------------yellow.
Ratio of 31:67:36-----------green.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 21
PERCEPTION OF WHITE LIGHT.
• When there is Equal stimulation of all cones there is perception of white light.
• White is combination of all the wavelengths of the spectrum.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 22
CLOR BLINDNESS The term Colour blindness is misleading if taken literally, because
colourblind people CAN see colors, but cannot make out the difference between some complementary colors.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 23
COLOR BLINDNESS CAUSE: Due to congenital absence of a single group of color receptive
cones from the eyes
Person is unable to distinguish some colors from others.
Usually…..absence of either L (Red) cones or M (Green) cones.
People with two functional cones are called Dichromate.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 24
RED-GREEN COLOR BLINDNESS
Person is unable to distinguish red from green due to missing of either of these cones.
Absence of M (Green)cones :Deuteranopia
Absence of L (Red) cones:Protanopia
Green, orange, red & yellow colors have wavelength 525 to 675nm.
These colors are normally distinguished from one another by red & green cones.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 25
RED-GREEN COLOR BLINDNESS
Genetic disorder only in males
Photopsins are coded on X chromosomes.
It never occurs in females ,because one of the two X Chromosomes has normal gene for each type of Cone.
about 8% of women are color blindness carriers
Females are only color blindness carrier.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 26
BLUE WEAKNESS Rarely blue cones are missing.
Genetically inherited state.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 27
COLOR TESTS CHARTS (ISHIHARA CHARTS )
Rapid method to determine color blindness.Charts are arranged with a confusion of spots of several different colors.
These charts observe spectral sensitivity curves of the different cones at same time.
Ideally a collection of 38 plates filled with colored dots build the base of this test. The dots are colored in different shades and a number is hidden inside with shades of another color.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 28
Ishihara Charts were made by a Japanese ophthalmologist Shinobu Ishihara (1879-1963).
He was working at the Military Medical School
He was asked to devise a test to screen military recruits for abnormalities of colour vision.
His assistant was a colourblind physician who helped him test the plates.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 29
ISHIHARA CHARTS.
The person with normal color vision reads 74, where as the red green blind person reads 21.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 30
ISHIHARA CHARTS.
Person with normal vision reads 42, red blind person reads2,and green blind person reads 4.

Medial and lateral recti move eyes side to side
Superior and inferiorrecti move eyes upand down
Superior and inferiorobliques rotate the eyes
Eye Movements are Controlled by Neural Pathways for Control of Eye Movementairs of Muscles.

Fixation Movement:Movement of eyes to bring a discrete portion of visual field into focus on the fovea.
Controlled byFrontal eye fieldsBrodmann’s area 8 and 19
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 33
NEURAL PATHWAYS FOR CONTROL OF EYE MOVEMENT
Fixation movements of the eyes controlled by two neuronal mechanisms, voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary fixation movements controlled by an area in the
premotor cortex. Involuntary fixation mechanism causes eyes to “lock” on
object of attention found with the voluntary fixation mechanism. Controlled by secondary visual areas of the occipital cortex.
Results from negative feedback mechanism controlled at the level of the superior colliculus that prevents objects of attention from leaving the foveal portion of the retina.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 34
Saccadic Movement
Jumping of eyes from one object to another. each jump is called a Saccade and the movement is called Opticokinetic movements.
Pursuit Movement
Fixation of eyes to a moving object
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 35
SACCADIC EYE MOVEMENTS When the visual scene is moving (turning the head), the eyes fix on one highlight after another in the visual field jumping at a rate of 2 to 3 jumps/sec. These jumps are called saccades, and the movements are called opticokinetic movements.
Saccades occur very rapidly (only 10% of the time is spent making saccades).
Vision is suppressed during a saccadic movement.
BY Muhammad Ramzan Ul Rehman Nishtar Ken 36
THE SUPERIOR COLLICULI ARE MAINLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ORIENTING THE EYES AND HEAD TOWARDS A VISUAL OR AUDITORY STIMULUS
