Document Summary
Class notes for deanna singhal"s 10 am class. Light must pass through the cornea, the pupil, the lens (which inverts the image) and through the vitreous humor to get to the back of the eye and land on the retina. The lens will go through a process called accommodation in which it will change its shape in order to focus on objects at different distances. The fovea, the tiny spot on the retina which has the most photoreceptors and the best ability to recognize detail, takes up about 25% of the visual cortex. Completion is a perceptual process that occurs in the brain. This process takes the information from around the blind spot as well as previous information in order to fill in the blanks and fill in the blind spot so you never see a black spot in your visual field.
