Question

Identify the statements as true/false. (xvi) Lens is the visible coloured portion of the eye.

Answer 1

False

• Iris is the pigmented muscular region near the front of the eye, between the cornea and the lens.

• The amount of pigment contained in the iris determines eye colour of a person.

• When there is very little pigment, the eye appears blue.

• With increased pigment, the shade becomes deep brown to black.
