Of all the various senses we possess none is more advanced and important than our vision. Have you ever wondered about the science behind the way this important organ works? If you are interested in finding out about the way our eyes help us to see then here is some interesting information regarding this subject matter:
Our eyes consist of more than just our eyeballs. Our eyes are a complex structure of nerves, cells and blood vessels made up of different parts such as the macular, the retina, the cornea, the optic nerve, and the vitreous humor to name a few. Our eyes are buried into sockets that are connected to the brain. Rays of light merge on the retina forming an inverted image. The optic nerve plays a role in transmitting this image to the brain thereby interpreting and converting it into normal eyesight.
For us to see an image in clear and normal vision rays of light that are reflected from objects should focus directly on the retina. However, there are cases associated with certain vision conditions whereby light rays are not focused directly on the retina causing impairment in our vision.
For example, in the case of farsightedness, the eyeball is too short. Therefore, in this case, light rays reflected from objects are not focused directly on the Retina, but they are focused behind it creating problems associated with farsightedness whereby objects in the distance are clear while objects that are close up appear blurry.
In the case of nearsightedness, on the other hand, the eyeball is too long and the light rays reflected from objects are not focused directly on the retina but instead are focused in front of it. This creates the vision problem called nearsightedness whereby you can see close up objects clearly while distant objects appear to you as a blur.
The question is what causes deformed eyeballs? Well, many years of excessive close-up work causes a buildup of tension in the eye muscles. These affected muscles are connected to the eyeball and continued accumulation of tension and stress in the eyes eventually leads to a distortion in the shape of the eyeball.
Did you know that eye exercises can correct these vision problems through the process called Accommodation? Accommodation is defined as the action of the muscles that surround the eyeball that is responsible for helping us to see near and distant objects. These muscles are responsible for the shape of the eyes and once exercised regularly can strengthen the focusing power of the eyes. With the regular and diligent practice of these simple and easy to perform eye exercise techniques, you can improve your vision naturally and ultimately correct vision problems such as nearsightedness and farsightedness.
