Eye Structure and Functions Guide

The eye contains several layers that work together to allow sight. The outermost sclerotic layer protects the eyeball, while the cornea refracts light. Inside are the choroid, which absorbs stray light and supplies blood, and the retina containing rod and cone cells that contain the sensory cells for sight. Between the lens and cornea is the aqueous humor that transmits light and supports the eyeball, and the lens focuses images onto the retina.
