    The various parts of the eye are shown in a diagram (not included yet). Light entering the eye passes through (in order) the cornea, aqueous humour, pupil, lens and vitreous humour before striking the retina. Electrical signals from the retina are sent to the brain via the optic nerve. The pupil is actually a hole in the iris. The lens is held in place by the ciliary muscles and suspensory ligaments. Common eye conditions are long(presbyopia)- and short(myopia)- sightedness.
