Vision: Crash Course Anatomy & Physiology #18 · 9:39 · Video: CrashCourse · Watch at the source

In short: Explore the complex anatomy of the human eye and discover the mechanics behind optical illusions. This video breaks down how light enters the eye and how the sensory system processes visual information to create your perception of the world.

The video examines the fundamental processes of sight, starting with the physics of how light works. It then moves into a detailed look at the eye's physical structure, specifically examining the three distinct layers: the fibrous, vascular, and inner layers.

By understanding these biological structures, we can better grasp how optical illusions function, revealing the ways in which our visual processing can be manipulated or deceived.
