Cornea12

• If the cornea, which is normally clear, becomes cloudy, it may look similar to a white pupil. (medlineplus.gov)
• Although the causes of a cloudy or white cornea are different from those of a white pupil or white reflex, these problems also need medical attention right away. (medlineplus.gov)
• A child that develops a white pupil or cloudy cornea needs immediate attention, preferably from an eye specialist. (medlineplus.gov)
• Contact your provider if you notice any color changes in the pupil or cornea of the eye. (medlineplus.gov)
• While it is commonly believed to, the pupil does not sit right on the surface of the eyeball, but is actually recessed into the iris, under the surface of the translucent cornea. (adobe.com)
• Behind the cornea are the iris, the pupil, and the anterior chamber. (kidshealth.org)
• The anterior (say: AN-teer-ee-ur) chamber is the space between the cornea and the iris. (kidshealth.org)
• The ciliary body also makes the clear fluid that fills the space between the cornea and the iris. (cancer.gov)
• The cornea starts to focus the light and it passes through the black spot in the center of the eye called the pupil. (puritan.com)
• The cornea is the clear layer in front of the iris and pupil. (merckmanuals.com)
• Light passing through the cornea is converged (bent) where it passes through the anterior chamber and the pupil, a circular opening regulating the amount of light entering the eye. (medscape.com)
• The most common features of this syndrome are the movement of endothelial cells off the cornea onto the iris leading to corneal swelling, distortion of the iris, and variable degrees of distortion of the pupil. (bvsalud.org)

Retina3

• An exam of the eye in which the pupil is dilated (enlarged) with medicated eye drops to allow the doctor to look through the lens and pupil to the retina. (cancer.gov)
• located behind the iris, the lens focuses light onto the retina. (puritan.com)
• It protects the iris and lens and helps focus light on the retina. (merckmanuals.com)

Dilate6

• Pupils get larger (dilate) in dim light and smaller (constrict) in bright light. (merckmanuals.com)
• Relaxing these muscles helps to dilate or widen your pupil. (drugs.com)
• Isopto Homatropine is also used to dilate your pupil before an eye exam, or to lower pressure inside the eye after eye surgery . (drugs.com)
• On a bright sunny day the pupils will shrink in size, while in a dark, dimly-lit room the pupils will dilate to let in as much light as possible. (puritan.com)
• Alcohol causes the iris to constrict and dilate at a much slower speed . (coopervision.com)
• In addition to the motions possible in the earlier model of Epi, the irises of the eyes can change color and the pupils can dilate and contract. (lu.se)

Lens7

• It is centered behind the iris lens, instead of on top of it. (wacom.com)
• After light enters the pupil, it hits the lens. (kidshealth.org)
• The lens sits behind the iris and is clear and colorless. (kidshealth.org)
• It helps focus light, as does the lens , which sits just behind the iris. (kidshealth.org)
• The lens lies behind the iris and the pupil (see diagram). (smartdraw.com)
• Iris and lens details could not be distinguished because of corneal haze. (cdc.gov)
• Light is further converged by the crystalline lens located posterior to the iris. (medscape.com)

Surrounds the pupil1

• The iris surrounds the pupil, which is the small black hole in the middle of the eye that helps control how much light enters it. (medicalnewstoday.com)

Eyeball7

• Viewed from the front, the iris is about half the size of the whole eyeball. (wacom.com)
• In addition, the iris is not painted flat onto the eyeball. (wacom.com)
• Technically, the pupil is not actually a black dot, but a small hole through which light enters the eyeball. (wacom.com)
• Discovering the underlying anatomy of the eyeball can help you to bring life and feeling into your drawings, from the corners of the eye to the pupils. (adobe.com)
• The iris is the coloured circular area of the eye and takes up a large portion of the part of the eyeball visible between the eyelids. (adobe.com)
• Placing the pupil underneath the outer line of the eyeball will increase the realism in your drawing. (adobe.com)
• Position the iris in the middle of the eyeball (if your character is looking straight ahead) - followed by the pupils, perfectly centred within each iris. (adobe.com)

Muscles6

• The pupil size is closely regulated by muscles in the iris. (aao.org)
• Certain conditions and medications can alter the function of these muscles and lead to abnormally dilated or constricted pupils. (aao.org)
• The iris has muscles attached to it that change its shape. (kidshealth.org)
• These pathways carry nerve impulses to the pupil and to the muscles that control the eye and eyelid. (merckmanuals.com)
• Very small muscles in the iris cause the pupil to get smaller and bigger to control how much light comes into the eye. (medlineplus.gov)
• Homatropine relaxes muscles in the iris (the colored part) of your eye. (drugs.com)

Inflammation5

• Peripheral anterior synechiae result from prolonged appositional contact between the iris and trabecular meshwork (as in primary angle-closure glaucoma) or from anterior chamber inflammation or neovascularization (secondary angle-closure glaucoma). (medscape.com)
• Apposition of the iris against the trabecular meshwork as a result of pupil block or a posterior pushing mechanism without any inflammation can result in continuous PAS. (medscape.com)
• In the presence of inflammation or cellular proliferation, a membrane forms between the iris and the trabecular meshwork. (medscape.com)
• Inflammation of the iris (iritis) and certain types of glaucoma cause unequal pupils, but this finding is usually overshadowed by severe eye pain. (merckmanuals.com)
• Inflammation of the iris is called iritis. (medlineplus.gov)

Circular3

• The iris is the colored part of the eye and usually has a circular shape. (eastportme.info)
• Within the iris, draw a smaller circular shape to represent the pupil. (eastportme.info)
• The iris (the colored circular part of the eye) controls the amount of light passing through the pupil. (kidshealth.org)

Glaucoma2

• Examples of this process include the fibrovascular membrane formed in neovascular glaucoma, proliferating abnormal endothelial cells in iridocorneal endothelial syndromes, epithelialization of the angle due to epithelial ingrowth, and inflammatory trabecular and keratic precipitates in contact with an inflamed iris. (medscape.com)
• In addition, the presentations covered phaco in patients with uveitis, Fuchs dystrophy, intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) and small pupils, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, pseudoexfoliation with weak zonules, high myopia, and high hyperopia with a crowded anterior segment. (aao.org)
