Study Notes

Structure of the Eye

  • The human eye has three encasing layers: sclera, choroid, and retina.

Outer Layer

  • The outer layer of the eyeball, the sclera, is made of white, tough, fibrous tissue that provides protection.

Middle Layer

  • The choroid, the middle layer, is a layer of blood vessels that supplies the retina with oxygen and nutrients.

Inner Layer

  • The retina, the inner layer, is composed of two layers: photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) and neural cells.

Lens Function

  • The lens, located behind the iris, changes shape to focus light onto the retina, allowing for near and far vision.
