Study Notes
The Eyeball Structure
- The adult eyeball measures approximately 2.5cm in diameter.
- The eyeball is divided into three main parts: outer fibrous, middle vascular, and inner nervous layers.
Outer Fibrous Layer
- Comprises the sclera and cornea.
- The sclera is the white, outer coat of the eyeball, covering the posterior and lateral aspects.
- The cornea is a transparent, convex structure that bends light rays to focus them on the retina.
- The sclera maintains the shape of the eye and provides attachment to the extra-ocular muscles.
Middle Vascular Layer
- Consists of the choroid, ciliary body, and iris.
- The choroid lies posteriorly on the inner surface of the sclera.
- The choroid contains blood vessels.
Inner Nervous Layer
- Comprises the retina.
Other Structures Inside the Eyeball
- The lens is a structure inside the eyeball.
- The aqueous fluid and vitreous body are also found within the eyeball.
