Vision and the Eye

The Human Eye and Vision. This introduction to the series covers the structure and function of the human eye. The historical concept of the eye as a simple image-forming device has been transformed to the modern view of the eye as a sophisticated image-processing organ. How structure and function are beautifully linked, in order to convert light energy into processed electrical signals, will be described.

Professor William Ayliffe is Emeritus Professor of Physic at Gresham College and a Consultant Ophthalmologist at the Lister Hospital in London. (from gresham.ac.uk)
