Convex lens- converging lens: lens such that a beam of light passing through it is brought to a point or focus. This type of lens is often used for close examination of samll objects. Examples: manifying glass, small car mirror, 7-eleven mirror

What is the nature of eye lens of human eye and that of the image formed at the retina of the eye by it?

The human eye lens is a transparent, flexible structure that refracts light to focus it on the retina. The image formed on the retina is inverted and reversed from left to right due to the refractive properties of the lens. The retina then converts this focused image into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.


How many lenses does the human eye have?

The human eye typically has one lens, which is located behind the iris. This lens helps to focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye, which then sends signals to the brain for processing visual information.


What type of lens is the lens of your eye?

The lens in the human eye is a convex lens, but it is flexible and when it is acted on by the ciliary muscle around it, the lens can be "flattened" to change the focus, or, when the muscle is relaxed, the lens can assume a more spherical shape. This is at the heart of the ability of the eye to focus on objects nearer or farther away.


Contact lens which side goes towards eye?

The curved side of the contact lens goes towards the eye, while the flat side faces outwards. Placing the lens incorrectly can lead to discomfort and blurred vision. Be sure to follow the correct instructions provided by your eye care professional.


Why is the image in your eye produced upside down before it is flipped by the brain?

if there is an object before a lens at a distance more than its focal length and is surrounded by a rarer medium it always forms the image on the other side of lens and is inverted w.r.tobject. our eye lens will simply act like a biconvex lens whose focal length is around 2.5cm . there fore images formed on the retina will be inverted and they are made upright by the brain system.
