Topics to Write About the Eye

From the anatomy of a normal eye to eye diseases to optical difficulties, the eye has always been an organ of keen interest to researchers. Because of this, there is a world of information available about the eye, and numerous related topics about which to write. By finding your niche topics, you will develop an expertise on what this very complex organ is capable of.

Eye Diseases

• Much research has been done on diseases of the eye, such as how the appearances of "flashes" in vision relates to retinal detachments. Other disease topics include glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration due to aging.

Optical Dysfunctions

• Optical dysfunctions is another type of eye disorder. This is not to be confused with eye diseases. For example, a normal, healthy eye could be far-sighted. Optical dysfunctions are a topic unto themselves, such as the study of myopia.

Anatomy of the Eye

• This is a benchmark topic. By describing, in detail, the anatomy of the eye, you will define to the reader exactly how the eye works. Some details would include the physical structure, how the eye bends light and how the light receptors in the retina change light into brain signals.

Animal Eyes

• Write about animal eyes, and compare and contrast the differences from human eyes. Some groups to write about would include fish, insects and mammals. Also, much research has been done about the unique properties of the hawk eye, and this could be an in-depth research topic.
