It is made up of several parts including the cornea, pupil, iris, and lens. The cornea is the clear part of the eye that covers the iris and pupil. The pupil is the black part of the eye that lets in light. The iris is the colored part of the eye that surrounds the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pupil\">pupil<\/a>. The lens is the part of the eye that focuses light on the retina. The retina is the light sensitive layer of the eye that sends signals to the brain to create images.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sclera\"><\/span>Sclera<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>is the white part of the eye and the cornea is the clear part. The sclera is the tough, fibrous outer layer that covers the eyeball. The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris and pupil.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choroid_Plexus\"><\/span>Choroid Plexus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The choroid plexus is a network of blood vessels and specialized cells that forms a sheet on the surface of the brain. The choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid, which circulates through the brain and spinal cord and helps to protect the brain and spinal cord from injury.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Retina\"><\/span>Retina<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The retina is a thin sheet of tissue in the back of the eye that contains nerve cells that sense light. The retina converts light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The brain interprets these signals to create images.<\/p>\n<h2> Ganglion Cells<\/h2>\n<p>Ganglion cells are bipolar cells in the retina that are responsible for color vision. They are also responsible for the perception of contrast and the detection of movement.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blind_Spot_Function\"><\/span>Blind Spot Function<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The blind spot function is the ability of the eye to see objects in its blind spot.<\/li>\n<li>This is because the eye has a blind spot in the back of the eye where the optic nerve enters the eye.<\/li>\n<li>This blind spot is about the size of a pea and is not visible to the eye. When an object is in the blind spot, the eye cannot see it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Blind Spot?
