  2. Tadpole pupil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadpole_pupil

    Tadpole pupil is diagnosed and characterized by the abnormality of the pupil shape. The pupil can disorient itself in different ways before it returns to its original shape. [6] For example, the pupil may stretch out to a 7 o'clock position, [6] i.e. the pupil points in the same direction the hour hand on a clock would at 7 o'clock.

  3. Chromostereopsis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis

    Blue–red contrast demonstrating depth perception effects 3 Layers of depths "Rivers, Valleys & Mountains". Chromostereopsis is a visual illusion whereby the impression of depth is conveyed in two-dimensional color images, usually of red–blue or red–green colors, but can also be perceived with red–grey or blue–grey images.

  4. Eccentricity effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentricity_effect

    The eccentricity effect is a visual phenomenon that affects visual search.As retinal eccentricity increases (i.e. the light of the image enters the eye at a larger angle and approaches peripheral vision), the observer is slower and less accurate to detect an item they are searching for.

  5. Pupil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupil

    The pupil is a hole located in the center of the iris of the eye that allows light to strike the retina. [1] It appears black because light rays entering the pupil are either absorbed by the tissues inside the eye directly, or absorbed after diffuse reflections within the eye that mostly miss exiting the narrow pupil.

  6. Iris (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_(anatomy)

    The iris (pl.: irides or irises) is a thin, annular structure in the eye in most mammals and birds that is responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil, and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. In optical terms, the pupil is the eye's aperture, while the iris is the diaphragm. Eye color is defined by the iris.

  7. Epiphora (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphora_(medicine)

    Causes of epiphora are any that cause either overproduction of tears or decreased drainage of tears, resulting in tearing onto the cheek. [2] This can be due to ocular irritation and inflammation (including trichiasis and entropion) or an obstructed tear outflow tract, which is divided according to its anatomical location (i.e., ectropion, punctal, canalicular or nasolacrimal duct obstruction).

  8. Lacrimal gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacrimal_gland

    The lacrimal gland is a compound tubuloacinar gland, it is made up of many lobules separated by connective tissue, each lobule contains many acini.The acini composed of large serous cells which, produce a watery serous secretion, serous cells are filled with lightly stained secretory granules and surrounded by well-developed myoepithelial cells and a sparse, vascular stroma.

  9. Relative afferent pupillary defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_afferent_pupillar...

    Marcus Gunn pupil: The left optic nerve and the optic tracts. A Marcus Gunn pupil indicates an afferent defect, usually at the level of the retina or optic nerve. Moving a bright light from the unaffected eye to the affected eye would cause both eyes to dilate, because the ability to perceive the bright light is diminished. Specialty
