• Light focuses at _________________
_________________ inside the eye• Some parts of what you
look at are in focus, other parts are blurry
• Fix by _____________cornea
![Page 5: Biomedical Engineering and the Eye. Eye Anatomy 3 major categories of eyesight problems 1._____________ 2.Nearsightedness (___________) 3.Farsightedness](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d0c5503460f949e0d5c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Nearsightedness
• Unable to see __________ things clearly
• Eyeball is ___________• Light focuses in front of
the retina• Glasses or flattening the
cornea fixes it
![Page 6: Biomedical Engineering and the Eye. Eye Anatomy 3 major categories of eyesight problems 1._____________ 2.Nearsightedness (___________) 3.Farsightedness](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d0c5503460f949e0d5c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Farsightedness
• Unable to see ___________things clearly
• Eyeball is too _________• Cornea is too _________• Light focuses behind retina• Glasses or making the
cornea rounder fixes this

LASIK surgery
• Vision correction procedure• Uses two different biomedical devices– _________________– ____________ laser
• Reshapes the ______• Changes the way light is refracted (bent) into
the eyeball• Light will then focus on retina…CLEAR VISION!

• __________________is guided over the eye on a ___________________
• Cuts a thin, outer layer of the ____________away from the eye
• Tracks have a ring– Ring uses suction to hold eye
still
