The Human Eye

Home ] Up ]

This is my left eye. You can see that I wear spectacles. I have to wear reading glasses so that I can see near objects; I also have to wear spectacles to correct astigmatism when I am riding my motorcycle. Astigmatism makes me see two pedestrians crossing the road when there is actually only one.

In the photo you should be able to see some tiny capillaries running over the surface of the white of my eye. Use the animation below to find out how the eye is made and what its various parts do.
