- Description
- The eye is an organ with 3 layers (from the outermost to the innermost): fibrous layer (sclera and cornea), uveal tract (iris, ciliary body, and choroid), and retina. The lens divides the eye into the aqueous chamber (filled with aqueous humor) and vitreous chamber (filled with vitreous humor). The iris divides the aqueous chamber into anterior and posterior chambers. This image illustrates the aqueous chamber (1), posterior chamber (2), and vitreous chamber (3).
