1. Where is the cornea located, and what is its basic function? 2. How is the iris of the eye similar in function to the iris diaphragm of a microscope? 3. What is accommodation, as it relates to our visual system? 4. What causes astigmatism? 5. What is a cataract, and what is the most common cause of a cataract? 6. What is the medical term for "pink eye"? 7. What goes wrong in amblyopia? (And what is the common term form amblyopia?)

Retina, Iris, Pupil, Cornea, Lens, etc. How do these eye parts function?
1. Identify the function of the iris, lens, ciliary muscle, ciliary processes, and retina in proper vision. a. Identify the locations/distribution of rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina. b. Identify the differences in how rods and cones are activated. c. Where should something be positioned to see it in the greatest detail? Why? d. Identify the various types of abnormal vision and the cause of each. 2. Describe the basic visual pathway. Differentiate between the concepts of convergence and merging visual fields in the visual pathway.
