The cornea\u2019s refractive power bends (refracts) the light rays that move freely through the pupil the opening in the center of the iris through which light enters the\u00a0eye.<\/p>\n<p>The iris (the colored part of the eye) works like a shutter in a camera, it opens and closes. It has the ability to control the diameter and size of the pupil and thus the amount of light entering the eye.<\/p>\n<p>After passing through the iris, the light rays pass thru the eye\u2019s natural crystalline lens. This clear, flexible structure works like the lens in a camera, shortening and lengthening its width in order to focus light rays properly.<\/p>\n<p>Light rays pass through a dense, transparent gel-like substance, called the vitreous that fills the globe of the eyeball and helps the eye hold its spherical shape.<\/p>\n<p>In a normal eye, the light rays come to a sharp focusing point on the retina. The retina functions much like the film in a camera. It is responsible for capturing all the light rays, processing them into light impulses, then sending them to the optic nerve.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Emmetropia<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The condition in which the refractive power of the cornea and the axial length of the eye balance out, causing the light rays to focus perfectly on the back of the retina is called emmetropia. An emmetropic eye requires no corrective lenses.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Ametropia<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The condition in which the light rays do not focus properly on the retina is called ametropia.
