Committee Member ______________________________ Marilyn Gadomski, Ph.D. Assistant Honors Director ______________________________ Date THE COMPLEX HUMAN EYE 3 Abstract The human eye has been the cause of much controversy in regards to its complexity and how the human eye came to be. Through following and discussing the anatomical and physiological functions of the eye, a better understanding of the argument of origins can be seen. The anatomy of the human eye and its many functions are clearly seen, through its complexity. When observing the intricacy of vision and all of the different aspects and connections, it does seem that the human eye is a miracle, no matter its origins. Major biological functions and processes occurring in the retina show the intensity of the eye’s intricacy. After viewing the eye and reviewing its anatomical and physiological domain, arguments regarding its origins are more clearly seen and understood. Evolutionary theory, in terms of Darwin’s thoughts, theorized fossilization of animals, computer simulations of eye evolution, and new research on supposed prior genes occurring in lower life forms leading to human life.

  • Surgical Excision of Eyelid Lesions Reference Number: CP.VP.75 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 12/2020 Revision Log
    Clinical Policy: Surgical Excision of Eyelid Lesions Reference Number: CP.VP.75 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 12/2020 Revision Log See Important Reminder at the end of this policy for important regulatory and legal information. Description: The majority of eyelid lesions are benign, ranging from innocuous cysts and chalazion/hordeolum to nevi and papillomas. Key features that should prompt further investigation include gradual enlargement, central ulceration or induration, irregular borders, eyelid margin destruction or loss of lashes, and telangiectasia. This policy describes the medical necessity requirements for surgical excision of eyelid lesions. Policy/Criteria I. It is the policy of health plans affiliated with Centene Corporation® (Centene) that surgical excision and repair of eyelid or conjunctiva due to lesion or cyst or eyelid foreign body removal is medically necessary for any of the following indications: A. Lesion with one or more of the following characteristics: 1. Bleeding; 2. Persistent or intense itching; 3. Pain; 4. Inflammation; 5. Restricts vision or eyelid function; 6. Misdirects eyelashes or eyelid; 7. Displaces lacrimal puncta or interferes with tear flow; 8. Touches globe; 9. Unknown etiology with potential for malignancy; B. Lesions classified as one of the following: 1. Malignant; 2. Benign; 3. Cutaneous papilloma; 4. Cysts; 5. Embedded foreign bodies; C. Periocular warts associated with chronic conjunctivitis. Background The majority of eyelid lesions are benign, ranging from innocuous cysts and chalazion/hordeolum to nevi and papillomas. Key features that should prompt further investigation include gradual enlargement, central ulceration or induration, irregular borders, eyelid margin destruction or loss of lashes, and telangiectasia. Benign tumors, even though benign, often require removal and therefore must be examined carefully and the differential diagnosis of a malignant eyelid tumor considered and the method of removal planned.

Methods Photographs of ten healthy female study participants were taken with brow at rest, with light elevation and with forceful elevation. These photographs were then viewed at 2×magnification on a computer monitor and caliper was used to measure the amount of pull on the eyebrow in relation to the actual increase in vertical fissure of the eye. Results There was a positive, linear correlation between amount of eyebrow eleva- tion and height of the palpebral fissure, which was statistically significant. Brow ele- vation increased vertical fissure, and thereby aperture of the eye, by 18%.

  • A Pictorial Anatomy of the Human Eye/Anophthalmic Socket: a Review for Ocularists
    A Pictorial Anatomy of the Human Eye/Anophthalmic Socket: A Review for Ocularists ABSTRACT: Knowledge of human eye anatomy is obviously impor- tant to ocularists. This paper describes, with pictorial emphasis, the anatomy of the eye that ocularists generally encounter: the anophthalmic eye/socket. The author continues the discussion from a previous article: Anatomy of the Anterior Eye for Ocularists, published in 2004 in the Journal of Ophthalmic Prosthetics.1 Michael O. Hughes INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE B.C.O. Artificial Eye Clinic of Washington, D.C. Understanding the basic anatomy of the human eye is a requirement for all Vienna, Virginia health care providers, but it is even more significant to eye care practition- ers, including ocularists. The type of eye anatomy that ocularists know, how- ever, is more abstract, as the anatomy has been altered from its natural form. Although the companion eye in monocular patients is usually within the normal range of aesthetics and function, the affected side may be distorted. While ocularists rarely work on actual eyeballs (except to cover microph- thalmic and blind, phthisical eyes using scleral cover shells), this knowledge can assist the ocularist in obtaining a naturally appearing prosthesis, and it will be of greater benefit to the patient. An easier exchange among ocularists, surgeons, and patients will result from this knowledge.1, 2, 3 RELATIONSHIPS IN THE NORMAL EYE AND ORBIT The opening between the eyelids is called the palpebral fissure. In the nor- mal eye, characteristic relationships should be recognized by the ocularist to understand the elements to be evaluated in the fellow eye.
