The Amazing Human Eye: Your Guide to How the Eye Sees

Travel inside the eyes -- our window to the world -- and learn how they allow us to see objects both far and near. In order to see, there must be light. Light reflects on an object and -- if one is looking at the object -- enters the eye.  The first thing light touches when entering the eye is a thin veil of tears that coats the front of the eye. Behind this lubricating moisture is the front of the eye, called the cornea. This clear covering helps to focus the light.

On the other side of the cornea is more moisture. This clear, watery fluid is the aqueous humor. It circulates throughout the front part of the eye and keeps a constant pressure within the eye. After light passes through the aqueous humor, it passes through the iris. This is the colored part of the eye. Depending on how much light there is, the iris may contract or dilate, limiting or increasing the amount of light that gets deeper into the eye. After light flows through the iris it enters the pupil -- the black dot in the middle of the eye. The light then goes through the lens. Just like the lens of a camera, the lens of the eye focuses the light. The lens changes shape to focus on light reflecting from near or distant objects.

This focused light now beams through the center of the eye. Again the light is bathed in moisture, this time in a clear jelly known as the vitreous. Surrounding the vitreous is the tough, fibrous, white part of the eye known as the sclera. It protects the delicate structures inside the eye.

At last the light reaches its final destination: the retina located at the back of the eye. In a way, the retina is like a movie screen. The focused light is projected onto its flat, smooth surface. However, unlike a movie screen, the retina has many working parts:

• Blood vessels. Behind the retina is a layer of blood vessels called the choroids that bring nutrients to the retina.
• The macula. This is the bull's-eye at the center of the retina. The dead center of this bull's eye is called the fovea. Because it's at the focal point of the eye, it has more specialized, light sensitive nerve endings, called photoreceptors, than any other part of the retina.
• Photoreceptors. There are two kinds of photoreceptors: rods and cones. These specialized nerve endings convert the light into electro-chemical signals.
• Retinal pigment epithelium. Beneath the photoreceptors is a layer of dark tissue known as the retinal pigment epithelium, or RPE. These important cells absorb excess light so that the photoreceptors can give a clearer signal. They also move nutrients to (and waste from) the photoreceptors to the choroid. Bruch's membrane separates the choroid from the RPE.

Maintaining Good Eyesight

Good eyesight plays an important role in your mobility and the enjoyment of life, so it's important to follow these basic steps to keep your eyes seeing clearly.

Visit your eye doctor...You should visit your eye doctor for an eye exam once every year to maintain good eyesight. See your ophthalmologist if you experience eye infections or symptoms of disease like loss of or blurred vision, light flashes, eye pain, redness, itching, swelling, and irritation around the eye or eyelid.

Practice disease prevention...Disease of the eye is the number one cause of blindness. Most diseases that cause blindness, like glaucoma and diabetes, can be treated or their progression slowed down with the proper diagnosis and management. While there is no cure for some eye conditions, there have been major medical advances for age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts. By visiting your eye doctor on a regular basis, you can catch any eye problems in their early stage when they are easier to treat.

Protect your eyes from the sun's harmful rays...Constant exposure to ultraviolet light can damage your eyes. Too much exposure increases pigmentation in the eye, causing a discoloration known as "brown" or "sunshine" cataracts. Eye diseases such as macular degeneration has been linked to UV exposure.

Wear protective gear and eyewear during work and sporting events...Wearing safety glasses and protective goggles while playing sports or working with hazardous and air-born materials lowers your risk for eye injury, impaired vision, and complete loss of sight.

Overview of Refractive and Laser Eye Surgery

Vision repair surgery, also called refractive and laser eye surgery, is any surgical procedure used to correct vision problems. In recent years, tremendous advancements have been made in this field. After refractive and laser eye surgery, many patients report seeing better than they had at any other time in their lives.

All refractive and laser eye surgeries work by reshaping the cornea, or clear front part of the eye, so that light traveling through it is properly focused onto the retina located in the back of the eye. There are a number of different types of refractive or laser eye surgeries used to reshape the cornea, including:

• LASIK - Short for laser in-situ keratomileusis, this laser eye surgery is used to correct vision in people who are nearsighted, farsighted, and/or have astigmatism. During LASIK laser eye surgery, vision is corrected by reshaping underlying corneal tissue so that it can properly focus light into the eye and onto the retina. LASIK laser eye surgery differs from others in that a flap is made in the outer layer of the cornea so that the underlying tissue can be accessed.
• PRK - Short for photorefractive keratectomy, this laser eye surgery is used to correct mild to moderate nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism. During PRK laser eye surgery, an eye surgeon uses a laser to reshape the cornea. This laser, which delivers a cool pulsing beam of ultraviolet light, is used on the surface of the cornea, not underneath the cornea, like in LASIK laser eye surgery. Therefore, no cutting is required.
• LASEK - Short for laser epithelial keratomileusis, this is a newer form of laser eye surgery that combines many of the benefits of LASIK and PRK. However, unlike LASIK and PRK laser eye surgeries, there is no cutting or scraping of the eye. Instead an epitheal flap is created using a 20% alcohol solution. LASEK laser eye surgery is used to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
• ALK - Short for automated lamellar keratoplasty, this eye surgery is used to correct vision in people with severe nearsightedness and slight degrees of farsightedness. As in LASIK laser eye surgery, a flap is created in the cornea so that the doctor can reach the underlying tissue. However, during this procedure, a laser is not used to correct vision. Instead, another incision is made on the sub layer of the cornea to reshape the cornea.
• LTK- Short for laser thermokeratoplasty, this is a new laser eye surgery is used to treat farsightedness and astigmatism. During LTK laser eye surgery, a laser beam uses heat to shrink and reshape the cornea. Vision is corrected in a matter of seconds, without any cutting or removal of tissue.
• AK -Short for astigmatic keratotomy, this is not laser eye surgery, but a surgical procedure used to correct astigmatism. The cornea of people who have astigmatism is shaped like a football. AK eye surgery corrects astigmatism by making one or two incisions at the steepest part of the cornea. These incisions cause the cornea to relax and take a more rounded shape. This eye surgery may be used alone, or in combination with other laser eye surgeries such as PRK, LASIK, or RK.
• RK - Short for radial keratotomy, this eye surgery was once one of the most frequently used procedures to correct nearsightedness. However, since the development of more effective laser eye surgeries, such as LASIK and PRK, RK is rarely used today.

While the results of laser eye surgeries have been promising, there are possible side effects. It is important to keep these side effects in mind when considering refractive or laser eye surgery.

• Infection and delayed healing. Infection resulting from PRK occurs in one-tenth of one percent of patients. For LASIK laser eye surgery, this number is even smaller. If an infection does result from refractive or laser eye surgery, it generally means added discomfort and a longer healing process.
• Undercorrection or overcorrection. It is difficult to accurately predict the success of refractive or laser eye surgery until the eye has healed properly. Patients may still need to wear corrective lenses even after laser eye surgery. Often surgeries resulting in undercorrections can be adjusted with a second laser eye surgery.
• Worse vision. Occasionally the vision through corrective lenses is actually worse after refractive or laser eye surgery than it was before. This may be a result of irregular tissue removal or excess corneal haze.
• Excess corneal haze. Corneal haze occurs as a part of the natural healing process after some refractive or laser eye surgeries, including PRK. It usually has no effect on the final outcome of vision after laser eye surgery and can only be seen through an eye examination. Occasionally, however, this haze may affect a patient's vision. A second refractive or laser eye surgery may be needed to correct it. The risk of corneal haze is much less with LASIK laser eye surgery than it is with PRK.
• Regression. Sometimes the effects of refractive or laser eye surgery gradually disappear over a period of several months. When this happens a second surgery is often recommended to achieve permanent results.
• Halo effect. The halo effect is an optical effect that occurs in dim light. As the pupil enlarges, the untreated area on the outside of the cornea produces a second image. Occurring sometimes in patients having LASIK laser eye surgery or PRK, this can affect and interfere with night driving, especially in patients who have big pupils in dark conditions.
• Flap damage or loss. This is a risk factor with LASIK laser eye surgery only. Instead of creating a hinged flap on the central cornea that can be closed, the entire flap may detach, risking permanent damage to the cornea.
