أجزاء العين

The parts of the eye we can see from the outside include:

  • الجفنَين (العلوي والسفلي)
  • الأهداب
  • Pupil (central dark part of the eye)
  • Conjunctiva (white part of the eye)
  • Iris (coloured part of the eye)
  • Cornea (clear layer over the iris and pupil).

Other important parts of the eye include:

  • Lens
  • Retina (back of the eye)
  • Optic nerve.

كيف نرى

  • Light enters through the pupil
  • The light passes through the lens, which focuses it on the retina
  • An image is formed on the retina
  • The image is sent to the brain as electrical signals through the optic nerve
  • عندما تصل الإشارات إلى الدماغ، يمكننا أن نرى.

To see well, each part of the eye needs to be working properly, and the eyes need to work together.
