Contact lens and eye anatomy, artwork C016 / 6572
Contact lens and eye anatomy. Artwork of a contact lens (left) and the anatomy of an eye (right) with a contact lens placed on the corneal surface (upper right). Contact lenses are used to correct optical defects in vision. The eye is seen in cutaway format from above. Structures shown include the eyelid, eyelashes, the lens (light blue), and the pupil and iris and ciliary muscles surrounding the lens. At lower right, several layers of the eyeball are shown, including the sclera (white), the choroid, and the retina (innermost). Veins (blue) and arteries (red) are also shown. The optic nerve (yellow) is at bottom centre

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate relationship between contact lenses and the anatomy of the eye. On the left, a single contact lens takes center stage, representing its vital role in correcting optical defects and improving vision. Placed delicately on the corneal surface in the upper right corner, it symbolizes hope for those seeking visual clarity. The eye itself is depicted on the right side of this artwork, presented in a cutaway format from above. Every detail has been meticulously captured to reveal an array of structures that contribute to our ability to see. From eyelids adorned with elegant lashes to the light blue lens nestled within, each element plays a crucial part. Further exploration reveals additional components such as the pupil and iris, surrounded by ciliary muscles that aid in focusing. Layers of tissue including sclera (white), choroid, and retina are unveiled at lower right, showcasing their importance in transmitting visual information. Veins painted blue and arteries depicted as red threads emphasize how essential proper blood circulation is for maintaining healthy eyesight. The optic nerve stands out prominently at bottom center with its vibrant yellow hue. This awe-inspiring illustration serves as both a technological marvel and an educational tool for anyone interested in understanding ocular anatomy or exploring advancements in vision correction. It encapsulates not only scientific knowledge but also artistic brilliance through its meticulous attention to detail and stunning composition.
