How can eye conditions positively influence human and animal health in…

- - - - lens
        
        transmits the light from the object into the retina
      - iris
        
        regulates the amount of light that enter the retina
      - sclera
        
        maintains the eye's shape; protects from injury
      - retina
        
        perceives different light signals that are sent from other parts of the eye
      - pupil
        
        lets in the light into the eye as the muscles of the iris changes shape; becomes electric signals in the retina
      - cornea
        
        focuses on light rays to the retina; contributes to refractive light
  - - - also called the nictitating membrane; a triangular membrane of conjunctival tissue across the eye to provide protection
    - - provides light-sensitive retinal cells for photon-photoreceptor simulation (exclusive to cats and dogs)
- - - - cataracts
    - - corneal damage
      - entropion
- - - - improves opportunities in education and work environments
      - gives an understanding of the disorder and how exactly to treat it
- - - - retinal gene therapy - treats AMD and retinitis pigmentosa (RP)
      - advanced imaging - detects and diagnoses various eye diseases
      - microsurgery - a technique that allows surgeons to perform delicate operations
