Face biometrics. Computer artwork of lines marking the contours (shape) of a human face. This kind of data could be obtained by scanning faces

Iris scanning. Conceptual computer artwork of the scanning of the iris of a human eye. Iris scanning images the iris (unique to each individual), the coloured area surrounding the pupil of an eye

Zoom effect image of a young girls blue eye
Eye. Zoom effect image of a young girls healthy blue eye, in front view. The black pupil of the eye is surrounded by a blue iris and white sclera

Close-up image of a young girls green eye
Eye. Close-up image of a young girls healthy green eye (front view). The black pupil of the eye is surrounded by a green iris and white sclera

Computer graphic of a human eye (negative-image)

Womans healthy brown eye
Eye. View of a womans healthy brown eye. The black pupil is surrounded by the brown iris. Around the iris the white sclera of the eye is seen. Eyelashes keep dust off the eye

Close-up of a womans healthy blue eye

Close-up of a womans blue eye with a tear-drop
Eye. Close-up of a womans healthy eye (in front view), seen with a single tear-drop on the lower eyelid. The black pupil of the eye is surrounded by a blue iris and white cornea

Computer graphic image of a human eye

Close-up of the eye of a young woman
Close-up of the eye of a young female, showing a dark green/grey/blue iris

Close-up of a womans blue eye

Nano surgery. Conceptual computer artwork of nano robotic spiders repairing an eye. Nanotechnology could revolutionise many fields of science from manufacturing to surgery

Robot baby doll
Robot doll. Camera (lower left) and switch (on the hand) on Robota, a robotic baby doll. The camera allows the doll to observe movements and actions

Biometric eye scan. Computer artwork of a human eye overlaid with binary numbers and computer graphics symbolising eye scanning

False eyes

Retinal degeneration. Ophthalmoscope view of the retina of a patients eye, showing disciform macular degeneration (yellow patch)

Retina damage in diabetes
Retinal damage in diabetes. Ophthalmoscope image of diabetic retinopathy, damage to the retina caused by diabetes. Changes to the retinal blood vessels (red) mean that they leak

Shortsightedness. Artwork of section through an eyeball affected by shortsightedness, or myopia. This is a condition in which distant objects appear blurred

Optic nerve, light micrograph
Optic nerve. Coloured light micrograph of a section through the optic nerve. The optic nerve (bright pink) collects impulses from the light sensitive cells of the retina and relays them to the brain

Eye structure, light micrograph
Eye structure. Coloured light micrograph of a section through the inner surface of a human eye. This slice shows the vitreous humour (transparent liquid in the eye, top), the retina (pink)

Vision and the brain, MRI scan
Vision and the brain. Coloured Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan of an axial section through the head of a 55 year old man, showing the eyes, optic nerves and brain

Magnified eye
MODEL RELEASED. Magnified eye seen through a magnifying glass

Open eye, artwork

The iris of the eye
Iris. Computer-enhanced image of the blue/brown iris of a human eye. The iris is a ring of muscle fibres which contracts and relaxes to alter the light entering the eye through the pupil (black)

Iris. Computer-enhanced and coloured image of a human iris. The iris is a ring of muscle fibres. It contracts and relaxes to alter the amount of light entering the eye through the pupil (black)

Human eye, computer artwork

Glaucoma, computer artwork. Glaucoma is an increased pressure in the eyeball due to an excessive amount of aqueous humour (the fluid that fills the eyeball)

Pixellated eye, computer artwork. This could represent artificial vision or impaired sight

Eye. Close-up of a womans eye

Healthy brain and eyes, CT scan
Healthy brain and eyes. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of a human head. The axial (horizontal) scan has revealed the head and brain in cross section at eye-level

"The Eye Ball: A Journey through Time, Culture, and Science" In the 17th century, Descartes' optics theory revolutionized our understanding of vision. Today, we explore the intricate world of the eye ball with a close-up of a mesmerizing Maori statue. Delving into color vision, we uncover the captivating spectrum of light that interacts with the human eye. Biometric scans reveal how our unique ocular patterns can unlock secure systems in this digital age. A cutaway model of a face unveils the complex network within which our eyes reside. As artificial intelligence advances, conceptual art pushes boundaries by reimagining what it means to see through an eye's lens. But let us not forget about other creatures on this planet - like elephants. The majestic Loxodonta africana reminds us that even animals possess remarkable visual abilities. From ancient temples to modern cities, eyes are omnipresent. The Swayambhunath Stupa stands as a testament to spiritual enlightenment while decorated elephants symbolize cultural celebrations around the globe. Traveling further along picturesque landscapes, stone cottages line the banks of River Eye in Lower Slaughter, The Cotswolds. Nature's beauty intertwines with human dwellings as we appreciate how eyes capture such scenes. Finally, gazing upon a towering totem pole in Stanley Park showcases indigenous artistry from British Columbia's rich heritage. Each intricately carved figure tells stories passed down through generations via their watchful eyes. The eye ball is more than just an organ; it is a gateway to knowledge and perception across time and cultures. Let us marvel at its wonders and continue unraveling its mysteries for years to come.
