Every person who uses their eyes. Refraction is responsible for the ability of the

cornea and lens of the eye to form a real image on the retina.

For those with poorly shaped cornea, or loss of the focusing ability of the lens, or an

eye that's too long or too short to place the retina at exactly the right position, external

lenses can be added in the visual chain to provide additional refraction. These are often

popularly referred to as "glasses", as in "Oh, I see that you wear glasses.".

Why is refraction important to a person who uses a camera?

Refraction is important to a person using a camera because it is essential for the light to shine through the lens onto the film. This wouldn't work if it simply reflected off the lens. I hope this helped.


What instrument bends light?

Mirror (uses reflection principle), transparent glass sheet (uses refraction principle),etc are the instruments which are used to bend light.


How does the eye use refraction?

The eye uses refraction to bend light rays as they pass through the cornea and the lens, allowing the light to focus properly onto the retina at the back of the eye. This process is essential for the eye to create a clear image of the outside world.
