Part A In this section of the task, the following topics must be

researched and included:
 A labelled detailed diagram showing the anatomy of the human eye
 A description of the physiology of the human eye
 An analysis of the different structures of the human eye, highlighting the function(s) that each structure plays in vision
 A description and diagrammatic flow chart showing the passage of LIGHT through the eye and to the brain
Part B In this section of the task, the following topics must be researched and included:
 Identification of where problems may occur within the structure and function of the human eye that can results in reduction or alteration of normal eyesight
 Conduct a detailed investigation on one of the following conditions: o Glaucoma o Cataracts o Macula degeneration o Short sightedness o Long sightedness
 Your investigation should discuss the following topics: o A labelled diagram of the anatomy of the eye, depicting any changes that the chosen condition has to the normal anatomy o A description on how the physiology of the eye is altered due to the condition o A diagrammatic flow chart showing the passage of LIGHT through the eye and on to the brain, indicating points where this is changed from the normal pathway of light in an unaffected eye o What treatments are available and have been developed in response to the chosen condition, and how these treatments assist in sufferers and their quality of life o What advancements have been made in treatment of your chosen condition o Provide evidence of scientists who have made significant contributions to research and development for your chosen condition
