k Eye anatomy, computer artwork. At the front of the eye is the cornea grey, a transparent coating. Behind this is the lens brown and pink, which is partly covered by the iris blue. The lens and cornea focus light on the retina orange at the back of the eye. A magnified view of the retina is shown at upper right. Light sensitive cells photoreceptors, red and brown in the retina transmit signals to the brain via the optic nerve grey, bottom right. Behind the rods and cones is a layer of pigmented epithelium that prevents light passing out of the eye, and behind that is the choroid, which contain blood vessels that nourish the back of the eye. The outer layer of the eye white is the sclera, the white of the eye. Editorial Stock Photo - Afloimages
