The Aqueous Humour and the Intraocular Pressure

  • Chapter
Physiology of the Eye

Abstract

The globe of the eye consists essentially of three coats enclosing the transparent refractive media. The outermost, protective tunic is made up of the sclera and cornea—the latter transparent; the middle coat is mainly vascular, consisting of the choroid, ciliary body, and iris. The innermost layer is the retina, containing the essential nervous elements responsible for vision—the rods and cones; it is continued forward over the ciliary body as the ciliary epithelium.
