  2. Human eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    Schematic diagram of the human eye. It shows a horizontal section through the right eye. The eye is made up of three coats, or layers, enclosing various anatomical structures. The outermost layer, known as the fibrous tunic, is composed of the cornea and sclera, which provide shape to the eye and support the deeper structures.

  3. Globe (human eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_(human_eye)

    The globe of the eye, or bulbus oculi, is the frontmost sensory organ of the human ocular system, going from the cornea at the front, to the anterior part of the optic nerve at the back. More simply, the eyeball itself, as well as the ganglion cells in the retina that eventually transmit visual signals through the optic nerve. [ 1 ]

  4. Visual system - Wikipedia

    Layers four and six of the LGN also connect to the opposite eye, but to the P cells (color and edges) of the optic nerve. By contrast, layers two, three and five of the LGN connect to the M cells and P (parvocellular) cells of the optic nerve for the same side of the brain as its respective LGN.

  5. Retina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina

    The retina (from Latin rete 'net'; pl. retinae or retinas) is the innermost, light-sensitive layer of tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.The optics of the eye create a focused two-dimensional image of the visual world on the retina, which then processes that image within the retina and sends nerve impulses along the optic nerve to the visual cortex to create visual perception.

  6. Cornea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornea

    The human cornea has five layers (possibly six, if the Dua's layer is included). [8] Corneas of other primates have five known layers. The corneas of cats, dogs, wolves, and other carnivores only have four. [9] From the anterior to posterior the layers of the human cornea are:

  8. Uvea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uvea

    The uvea (/ ˈ j uː v i ə /; [1] derived from Latin: uva meaning "grape"), also called the uveal layer, uveal coat, uveal tract, vascular tunic or vascular layer, is the pigmented middle layer of the three concentric layers that make up an eye, precisely between the inner retina and the outer fibrous layer composed of the sclera and cornea.

    The highest such number that the eye can resolve as stripes, or distinguish from a grey block, is then the measurement of visual acuity of the eye. For a human eye with excellent acuity, the maximum theoretical resolution is 50 CPD [43] (1.2 arcminute per line pair, or a 0.35 mm line pair, at 1 m).
