Document Summary

You see whatever enters your eye: the white light strikes the yellow paint and all of the wavelengths are being absorbed except for yellow. You can send a beam of yellow or orange, green whatever wave length of light that is the color you will see. White: it is all the wavelengths are entering the eye. It is like an onion and there are three layers that you have to consider. Sclera (white part and is made of fibrous tissue, fairly solid) this lateral rectus muscle will attach to it because it is so solid. Distupted at one end to allow the passage of the optic nerve. But as you go towards the front it continues as the cornea and you need this part to be transparent for light to enter the eye. The light cannot go through the sclera (the white part of the eye) ligaments will pull on the lens to stretch it out.
