If the eyeball is too long images are focused in front of the retina and the result is?
When the light actually reaches the retina the image is blurred (except when looking at close objects when the image is focused on the retina and looks clear. The condition is known as short-sightedness.
The screen on which the image in formed in the eye is called?
Retina (layer of nerve tissue covering the back 2/3 of the eyeball).
A human eye is far-sighted when the image falls the retina?
When the image focuses (falls) behind the retina
How long an image persist on retina of human eye?
for 1/16th of a second an image persist on retina of human eye
On what part of the eye is inverted image formed?
The cornea and lens of the eye form a real, inverted image on the retina.
What is the difference between Myopia and Hypermetropia?
Myopia is characterised by a slight elongation of the eyeball, causing the image to fall in front of the retina, while hypermetropia is characterised by a slight shortening of the eyeball, causing the image to fall a little behind the retina. In both cases, blur circles are formed instead of image points leading to blurring of the overall image.

What part of the brain is active in keeping an image of a moving object on the retina of the eyeball?
Visual cortex of occipital lobe

Retina (layer of nerve tissue covering the back 2/3 of the eyeball).
What part of the eye behind the pupil is bent and stretched by the ciliary body to further refract light?
The eye lens is adjusted to further refract light so that a clear image falls on the retina and is transmitted to the brain.
How does your eyeball see?
Light emitted or reflected by objects in the surroundings causes reactions in the rod and cone cells in the retina. These reactions send electrical impulses to the brain, which interprets them as an image.
What part of the eye works similar to the shutter of a camera?
The emulsion on the film of a camera is where the image is focused and captured. In the eye that function is performed by the retina.
What does the lens do on an eye?
It makes an image to fall on the retina. For this function the thickness of the lens is changed according to the distance of the object.
Why would concave be used for near sighted?
A farsighted person can see distant objects clearly, but nearby objects appear blurry. The eyeball is too short, so the image that falls on the retina is out of focus. A convex lens corrects this by bending light rays toward each other before they enter the eye. An image then focuses on the retina.
A human eye is far-sighted when the image falls the retina?
When the image focuses (falls) behind the retina
What captures the image in the eye?
The retina is where the image is formed.
What part of the eye is like the emulsion of a camera?
The emulsion on the film of a camera is where the image is focused and captured. In the eye that function is performed by the retina.
