Articel about our experiments "HOW EYES WORK'



The Theoritical Basis
Eyes are organs that detect light and convert it into electro-chemical impulses in neurons. The simplest photoreceptor cells in conscious vision connect light to movement. In higher organisms the eye is a complex optical system which collects light from the surrounding environment, regulates its intensity through a diphragm, focuses it through an adjustable assembly of lenses to form an image, converts this image into a set of electrical signals, and transmits these signals to the brain through complex neural pathways that connect the eye via the optic verve to the visual cortex and other areas of the brain.

In this experiments we will show and explain how pupil can work in the bright place and dark place. And we will explain about myopia and hypermetropia. When we are in the bright place, our pupil will become smaller. When we are in the dark place, our pupil will become bigger. Myopia is a condition of the eye where the light that comes in does not directly focus on the retina but in front of it. This causes the image that one sees when looking at a distant object to be out of focus, but in focus when looking at a close object. Hypermetropia the technical name  for a problem that may happen with the human eye. It is commonly called being long sighted. Hyperopia can make a person unable to see nearby objects clearly because they appear blurred, while faraway objects are clear.

Tools and Material
1.     Camera
2.     Flashlight
3.     Mobile Phone
4.     Laptop
5.     Book
6.     Ipad

Step of Experiments
1.     First, we record eyes when we are in the dark place
2.     Second, we record eyes when we are in the bright place
3.     Third, we record example of myopia in the daily life
4.     And then we record example of hypermetropia in the daily life


The Result From Our Experiments
1.     When we are in the bright place our pupil are become smaller because there are many light that come into our eyes. But when we are in the dark place our pupil are become bigger, it is because there are minimum light in the dark place.
2.     Myopia is eyes desease that cause patients can’t see object from distant. That’s because the shadow fell in front of retina. So, a person who have myopia disease must use concave lens glasses.
3.     Hypermetropia is eyes desease that cause patients can’t see object from  near. Hypermetropia usually occur with elder people. Hypermetropia caused the shadow fall behind retina. A person who have hypermetropia disease must use convex lens glasses.


Conclusion
So, from our experiments we can take the conclusion when we are in the bright place our pupil became smaller, but when we are in the dark place our pupil became bigger.
A person who have myopia disease must use concave lens glasses because they can’t see object from distant. And a person who have hypermetropia disease must use convex lens glasses because they can’t see object from near.
