how the eye works
The eye is a complex organ that enables vision through the focus of light and image processing. It adapts to different lighting conditions and distances, allowing us to see both near and far objects clearly.

The pupil function is crucial for light adjustment in the eye, while the retina contains specialized cells for detecting light and color.
Vocabulary: The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil.
The pupil's job is to allow light into the eye and change size to regulate the amount of light entering:
Highlight: The pupil's ability to adjust its size is an automatic response to light levels, helping us see in various lighting conditions.
The retina contains two types of light-sensitive receptor cells:
Example: When you enter a dark room, your rod cells become more active, allowing you to see shapes and outlines, but with limited color perception.

The eye's ability to focus light and adjust to different viewing distances is crucial for clear vision. The cornea, lens, and pupil work together to refract light and create a sharp image on the retina.
Definition: Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through different mediums, such as the cornea and lens of the eye.
The focus of light in the eye occurs through two main structures:
These structures refract light as it enters the eye, directing it towards the retina.
Highlight: The eye's ability to focus on objects at different distances is called accommodation.
The eye accommodation process involves changing the shape of the lens:
Example: When reading a book up close, your eye's lens becomes more rounded to focus the light from the nearby text onto your retina.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
