oPhysics. Optics of the Human Eye. Description. This is a simulation demonstrating the optics of the human eye. It also shows how various lenses can be used to correct for faulty vision. Be aware that it is a simplified version of what actually happens.

The cornea, which is itself a converging lens with a focal length of approximately 2.3 cm, provides most of the focusing power of the eye. The lens, which is a converging lens with a focal length of about 6.4 cm, provides the finer focus needed to produce a clear image on the retina.
In a ray diagram, a concave lens is drawn as a vertical line with inward facing arrows to indicate the shape of the lens.
The eye produces a real image on the retina by adjusting its focal length and power in a process called accommodation. For close vision, the eye is fully accommodated and has its greatest power, whereas for distant vision, it is totally relaxed and has its smallest power.

The cornea and lens of an eye act together to form a real image on the light-sensing retina, which has its densest concentration of receptors in the fovea and a blind spot over the optic nerve. The power of the lens of an eye is adjustable to provide an image on the retina for varying object distances.
Convex and concave lenses can both be used to correct defects of vision. The most commonly occurring defects of vision are ‘short sightedness’ and ‘long sightedness’.

Sep 16, 2022 · If the concave lens makes a virtual image of a distant object at distance \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) in front of the cornea, the unaccommodated eye can see it clearly. The lens Law (2.5.44), with \(s_{o}=-\infty\) implies then \(f_{i}=s_{i}=-2 \mathrm{~m}\) .
