EDITOR'S PICK

Eyes are organs that detect light, and send signals along the optic nerve to the visual and other areas of the brain. Complex optical systems with resolving power have come in ten fundamentally different forms, and 96% of animal species possess a complex optical system.

Image-resolving eyes are present in cnidaria, mollusks, chordates, annelids and arthropods.

The simplest "eyes", in even unicellular organisms, do nothing but detect whether the surroundings are light or dark, which is sufficient for the entrainment of circadian rhythms. From more complex eyes, retinal photosensitive ganglion cells send signals along the retinohypothalamic tract to the suprachiasmatic nuclei to effect circadian adjustment.

Eye expert challenges laser pen ‘danger’

There has been an increasing level of public concern over commercially available laser pointers after they were alleged to have caused serious eye damage in a number of cases.

The pens are intended as a replacement for the old-fashioned pointing sticks used by lecturers.

Prof Marshall, who has worked in the field of laser safety since the 1960s, said he was particularly incensed about a recent report from Tyneside about a cat being tortured and blinded by a laser pointer.

He said that it would be "virtually impossible" to blind a cat in this way, even with a surgical laser, because of the way their eyes reflect the light.

He said that the new widely available laser pointers had a radiant emission of five milliwatts, which even if shone directly into the eye would cause less dazzle than a bright flashbulb.

Latest Medical Breakthroughs

An eye is a round-shaped organ that works with the brain to provide us with vision. The shape of the eye is maintained by the pressure of the aqueous humor. The aqueous humor is the fluid that fills the front chamber of the eye. The main function of the eye is to work with the brain to provide us with vision. The eye and brain translate light waves into a sensation we call vision.
