An interactive 3D eyeball with labeled cornea, lens, and retina — rotate, zoom, and cross-section to explore how the eye focuses light by Aurelia RMT.
Labeled Hotspots
Cornea — Transparent anterior dome of the eye; refracts light entering the eye; avascular, nourished by aqueous humor and tear film; provides approximately two-thirds of the eye's total refractive power
Lens — Biconvex transparent structure behind the iris and pupil; adjusts curvature (accommodation) to focus light precisely on the retina; loss of elasticity causes presbyopia
Retina — Light-sensitive inner lining of the posterior eye; contains photoreceptors (rods for low-light vision, cones for color and detail); signals travel via the optic nerve to the visual cortex
