Across
- 1. Lens type that is thinner in the center used to correct myopia
- 3. Upside down, reversed, and scaled image projected onto the retina
- 8. X-shaped region where inner optic nerve fibers cross over to opposite brain sides
- 9. Correct vision; light focusing where rays land directly on the retina
- 11. Crossed eyes caused by unequal pulls of external eye muscles
- 12. Age-related loss of lens elasticity making near focus difficult
- 13. Ability of the eye to adjust its focal power for near vision
- 14. Brain structure acting as an information relay station for visual signals
- 16. Nearsightedness where light focuses in front of the retina
- 18. Two-eyed viewing with overlapping fields that provides 3D depth perception
- 20. Lens type that is thicker in the center used to correct hyperopia
- 22. Farsightedness where light focuses behind the retina
- 24. Loss of the same side of the visual field in both eyes
- 25. Primary visual cortex region in the brain where visual signals are processed
- 27. Inability to see clearly in low light caused by Vitamin A deficiency affecting rods
Down
- 2. Condition where the lens becomes hard and opaque, causing hazy vision
- 4. Pointed photoreceptors that detect color and fine detail in bright light
- 5. Blurred vision caused by unequal curvatures of the cornea or lens
- 6. Eye disease caused by blocked aqueous humor drainage that increases internal pressure
- 7. Bending of light rays as they pass into the eye
- 10. Instrument used to illuminate and examine the interior fundus of the eye
- 15. Slender photoreceptors that detect light and dark for dim vision
- 16. Breakdown of the retinal area responsible for sharp central vision
- 17. Reflexive inward movement of the eyes when viewing close objects
- 19. Lack of one or more cone types resulting in difficulty distinguishing colors
- 21. Reflex that constricts the pupils when exposed to bright light
- 23. Nerve bundle that carries electrical visual signals from the retina to the brain
- 26. Vision type set for horizon viewing beyond 20 feet with a flatter lens
