One basic model describing the geometry of the optical system is the Arizona Eye Model. [2] This model describes the accommodation of the eye geometrically. Photons of light falling on the light-sensitive cells of the retina ( photoreceptor cones and rods ) are converted into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain by the optic ...

The globe of the eye, or bulbus oculi, is the frontmost sensory organ of the human ocular system, going from the cornea at the front, to the anterior part of the optic nerve at the back. More simply, the eyeball itself, as well as the ganglion cells in the retina that eventually transmit visual signals through the optic nerve.

The resulting eye is a mixture of a simple eye within a compound eye. Another version is a compound eye often referred to as "pseudofaceted", as seen in Scutigera . [ 28 ] This type of eye consists of a cluster of numerous ommatidia on each side of the head, organised in a way that resembles a true compound eye.
The spur is an annular structure composed of collagen in the human eye. It is the origin of the longitudinal and circular fibres (which swerve acutely from the spur to run circumferentially, as a sphincter near the periphery of the lens ) [ 1 ] of the ciliary muscle , and is attached posteriorly to the trabecular meshwork .
The orbital septum is an important structure that separates anterior and posterior extent of the orbit. Orbital septum acts as a physical barrier that prevents the infection of the anterior part of the eye spreading posteriorly. For example, preseptal cellulitis mainly infects the eyelids, anterior to the orbital septum.
