  2. Entoptic phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entoptic_phenomenon

    Some examples of entoptical effects include: Floaters depiction Purkinje tree depiction. Floaters or muscae volitantes are slowly drifting blobs of varying size, shape, and transparency, which are particularly noticeable when viewing a bright, featureless background (such as the sky) or a point source of diffuse light very close to the eye.

  3. Opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opacity

    An opaque substance transmits no light, and therefore reflects, scatters, or absorbs all of it. Other categories of visual appearance, related to the perception of regular or diffuse reflection and transmission of light, have been organized under the concept of cesia in an order system with three variables, including opacity, transparency and ...

  4. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    When infrared light of these frequencies strikes an object, the energy is reflected or transmitted. If the object is transparent, then the light waves are passed on to neighboring atoms through the bulk of the material and re-emitted on the opposite side of the object. Such frequencies of light waves are said to be transmitted. [10] [11]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floater

    Floaters are from objects in pockets of liquid within the vitreous humour, the thick fluid or gel that fills the eye, [7] or between the vitreous and the retina. The vitreous humour, or vitreous body, is a jelly-like, transparent substance that fills the majority of the eye.

    In this, the opaque cornea is replaced with donor tissue. Depending on type and density of corneal opacity different types of keratoplasty may be used such as: [ 28 ] Penetrating keratoplasty: It is the traditional full thickness corneal transplant procedure, in which trephine (a circular cutting device) is used to cut opaque cornea, a similar ...

    The visual field becomes a sort of active space. A side component of this is the ability to feel motion when the eyes are closed. [citation needed] CEV noise simulation with disappearing flashing image. Opening the eyes returns one to the normal physical world, but still with the CEV object field overlaid onto it and present.

  8. List of optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optical_illusions

    Colour constancy is an example of subjective constancy and a feature of the human color perception system which ensures that the perceived color of objects remains relatively constant under varying illumination conditions. A green apple for instance looks green to us at midday, when the main illumination is white sunlight, and also at sunset ...

  9. Eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye

    Eyes in various animals show adaptation to their requirements. For example, the eye of a bird of prey has much greater visual acuity than a human eye, and in some cases can detect ultraviolet radiation. The different forms of eye in, for example, vertebrates and molluscs are examples of parallel evolution, despite
