The structure of the human eye is complex, enabling sight through various components working together. While a complete overview of the eye's structure requires a deeper dive, we can outline some key elements, starting with the outermost layer.
Outer Layer
- Sclera: The outermost layer is called the sclera, which is a tough, white layer that forms the "white of the eye." It provides protection and structure.
- Conjunctiva: A thin, transparent membrane called the conjunctiva covers the sclera near the front of the eye, in the area protected by the eyelids. It runs to the edge of the cornea.
