What else can I help you with?
What is part of the refractory media of the eye?
the structures in the eye that refract light in the eye is the lens and the cornea.
What is the appearance and texture of the vitreous humor?
The vitreous humor is a jelly like liquid that fills most of the eye (from the lens back). As we age it changes from a gel to a liquid and gradually shrinks separating from the retina. See related link for more details.
What does it mean when you see (aq)?
aqueous or solution in water
What is bilateral vitreous detachment?
Bilateral vitreous detachment occurs when the gel-like substance inside both eyes, called the vitreous, separates from the retina. This condition is typically age-related and can cause symptoms like floaters, flashes of light, and reduced vision. It is important to see an eye doctor for an evaluation if you experience any of these symptoms.
Is CaSO4 aqueous?
Nope. As soon as you see the symbol for calcium, you know an ionic compound is being formed.
Why are the aqueous and the vitreous humors transparent?
They are transparent so that you can see through your eye. The aqueous humor is the small amount of liquid in your cornea that is sort of watery and the vitreous humor is the jelly like inside. They are not always transparent, sometimes there are small clumps of stuff in the vitreous humor called floaters, sometimes you can see them in your vision.
What is part of the refractory media of the eye?

What does the vitreous humor in your eye do?
it gives the eye its round shape and lets you see in 3D
Why is the vitreous humor transparent?
so the the ligth can pass througth esaly if it was not transparent then you could not see
How is the lens different in a living eye that a preserved eye?
the cornea becomes cloudy/foggy and very difficult to see through
What is a sqiggle line in your vision?
There is a substance called Vitreous Humor and Aqueus Humor in your eye, (keeps your eyes shape) The Vitreous Humor is a gel like substance and can sometimes start to shrink or dry up (happens more with age) and some of the cells will clump. This is what creates the lines or dots you see, which are actually shadows of the clumped strand of vitreous humor onto your retina. This can alo happen from various kinds of damage to the eye besides age.
What is the appearance and texture of the vitreous humor?
The vitreous humor is a jelly like liquid that fills most of the eye (from the lens back). As we age it changes from a gel to a liquid and gradually shrinks separating from the retina. See related link for more details.
How do cilliary bodies help you see?
Ciliary bodies in the eye help the lens change shape to focus on objects at different distances, allowing you to see clearly. They also produce aqueous humor, a fluid that nourishes the eye and maintains its shape and pressure.
Why do we see floaters in our vision?
Floaters are small, semi-transparent particles that float in the vitreous humor of the eye. They are typically caused by age-related changes in the vitreous humor, such as the clumping of collagen fibers or the presence of cell debris. These floaters cast shadows on the retina, which we perceive as small, moving specks in our field of vision.
What would happen to the eye without the vitreous humor?
Without vitreous humor, the eye's shape and structure would be compromised, resulting in loss of support and increased risk of retinal detachment. Vision may also be affected due to changes in the eye's ability to focus light onto the retina.
Do animals use refraction?
In general, the process refraction only occurs in the eyes (as far as I know). So I assume you are asking how animals use refraction in their eyes, and by "refraction" you mean the refraction of light. In general, when light enters the eyes, it first enters the cornea of the eyes, which is then refracted into the pupil through the aqueous humor. The thickness and convexity of the lens control how the light is refracted into the eye. The light is focused on the retina which has rods and cone (photoreceptors/light sensors) which sends nerve impulses to the brain. Therefore, the animal is able to see. The parts of the eyes that does the refraction are the cornea, aqueous humor, lens, and the vitreous humor. You might want to surf the web for more details about this
Why does refraction takes place in the eye?
Refraction in the eye occurs primarily due to the bending of light as it passes through different transparent media, such as the cornea, aqueous humor, lens, and vitreous humor. The cornea provides most of the eye's optical power, while the lens fine-tunes focus for near or distant objects. This bending of light is essential for forming clear images on the retina, enabling us to see. Any irregularities in the shape of the eye or lens can lead to refractive errors, affecting vision clarity.
