He stated he understood my instructions. When I moved my pen, John did not move his eyes or his head. John just continued to stare at me as if he did not understand what to do.

    The first step was to observe the outer structure of the eye. Prior to dissection we located the optic nerve, cornea, sclera, iris, pupil, and lens. We then trimmed away excess tissue surrounding the eyeball on the sclera. Then we started a cross-section of the eye with the scalpel by making an incision behind the middle of the eyeball through the sclera. We then separated the eye into halves. We let the vitreous humor slide out. We had to tease it gently away from the lining of the eye. We then tipped the front portion over and let the lens fall out after a little teasing. We located the vitreous body, lens, hyaloid fossa, and zonula ciliaris. We picked up the lens with a pair of forceps and dried it with a paper towel. We attempted to observe its ability to magnify but we weren’t able to see much. If we would have been able to let it dry overnight we probably would have been able to see more. We then turned the eye so we were looking at the cornea. We cut the front of the eye around the outside of the outside of the cornea to remove the cornea. We cut the cornea in half to observe its thickness. We picked up the back half of the eye and located the retina. We located the optic nerve / blind spot when we turned the eye over. We pinched the nerve with the forceps. We moved the retina so that we could see the metallic – looking tissue at the back of the eye which is the choroid. The portion of the choroid that appears blue is the…
