why isit difficult to see the details of images that are formed at the edge of the retina
Retina is a part of eye where images of objects are formed.
In the human eye, images are formed on the retina, which is a light-sensitive layer located at the back of the eye. The lens of the eye helps focus light onto the retina, where it is converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
Images are formed on both of them.
The image should form on the retina. More specifically in the fovea centralis of the macula of the retina.
In farsighted individuals, images are formed behind the retina due to a shorter-than-normal eyeball. This can lead to difficulty seeing close-up objects clearly, as light entering the eye focuses on a point beyond the retina. Glasses or contact lenses can help correct this by refocusing the light onto the retina.
The short answer is that the interpretation of what you see occurs in the visual cortex, not in the retina.
Virtual images are produced by rays of light that appear to converge at a specific point behind the retina. When these rays enter the eye, they are refracted by the cornea and lens in such a way that they appear to intersect at a point in front of the retina. This results in an inverted and smaller image being formed on the retina, which the brain then interprets as a virtual image.
For people who are farsighted, images come into focus behind the retina; for people who are nearsighted, images come into focus in front of the retina.
The brain processes visual information received from the retina and interprets it as upright through a complex system that involves visual processing and neural connections. The brain also makes adjustments for size perception based on distance and relative sizes of known objects in the environment. This process helps us perceive the world consistently despite the inversion and diminishment of images on the retina.
The center region of the retina is called the macula. this is where images are focused.
retina is connected to the nerve and the nerve sends the messages or images to the brain and the brain processes the images
The "retina".
