The approximate field of view of an individual human eye (measured from the fixation point, i.e., the point at which one's gaze is directed) varies by facial anatomy, but is typically 30° superior (up, limited by the brow), 45° nasal (limited by the nose), 70° inferior (down), and 100° temporal (towards the temple). [7] [8] [9] For both eyes combined ( Binocular vision) visual field is approximately 100° vertical and a maximum 190° horizontal, approximately 120° of which makes up the binocular field of view (seen by both eyes) flanked by two uniocular fields (seen by only one eye) of approximately 40 degrees. [10] [11] It is an area of 4.17 steradians or 13700 square degrees for binocular vision. [12] When viewed at large angles from the side, the iris and pupil may still be visible by the viewer, indicating the person has peripheral vision possible at that angle. [13] [14] [15]

Eye melanoma most commonly affects the eyeball. Doctors sometimes call it uveal or choroidal melanoma, depending on exactly which part of your eye is affected. The fibrous layer, which consists of the sclera and cornea. The sclera is an opaque layer which surrounds the posterior five-sixths of the eyeball. The cornea is a transparent layer that is anteriorly continuous with the sclera, occupying the anterior one-sixth of the eyeball. Like other areas of the body, the eye can swell and become inflamed in response to an injury. A poke or blow to the eye can scratch the cornea, which may cause the eye to swell, and become red and irritated. Eye cancerThe main function of the cornea is to participate in the refraction of light. In fact, the cornea is the most important refractory structure of the eye as it has the highest optical power (42 diopters). The refraction of light occurs in the center of the cornea, where its refractive power is significantly higher than that of the atmospheric air. Photoreceptors. These consist of rods and cones. The rods are cylindrical cells adapted for absorbing the dim light, being responsible for producing the images in the grayscale. The cones are the conical cells that are specialized for high-intensity light, enabling the color vision. The distribution of the cones and rods varies across the retinal surface; the rods are absent within fovea centralis, increasing in density going to the periphery of the retina. The cones, however, are the most abundant at the fovea, decreasing in number towards the periphery. The vitreous body is a gelatinous structure, with a dense cortex that attaches to the surrounding structures. Its core is looser and features a narrow and somewhat oblique channel that extends from the optic disc to the posterior pole of the lens. This channel is called the hyaloid canal and it serves to transmit the hyaloid artery in fetal life, which supplies the lens in this period. The function of the vitreous body is to contribute to the refraction of light, although its dioptric index is significantly smaller than that of cornea and lens. This condition occurs due to age and causes a reduction in the focusing power of the lens. As people age, their lenses become harder and more flattened.

The function of the iris is to control the size of the pupil through the actions of the sphincter and dilator pupillae muscles. The venous drainage mirrors the arterial supply; small veins from the pupillary margin form the minor venous circle, from which the larger veins convey the blood into the vorticose veins. At the low end of the range is the absolute threshold of vision for a steady light across a wide field of view, about 10 −6 cd/m 2 (0.000001 candela per square meter). [21] [22] The upper end of the range is given in terms of normal visual performance as 10 8 cd/m 2 (100,000,000 or one hundred million candelas per square meter). [23] The pupil of the human eye can range in size from 2 mm to over 8 mm to adapt to the environment The eyeball grows rapidly, increasing from about 16–17mm (0.63–0.67in) diameter at birth to 22.5–23mm (0.89–0.91in) by three years of age. By age 12, the eye attains its full size. The risk of developing eye melanoma also increases with age, with most cases being diagnosed in people in their 50s.
