Coats of the Eyeball-
- Fibrous coat - Sclera, Cornea, Limbus (Junction of the cornea & sclera), Conjunctiva (firmly attached at the limbus)
- Vascular coat (uveal tissue) - It consists of three parts, from anterior to posterior, which are : Iris, Ciliary body & Choroid.
- Nervous coat (Retina) - It is concerned with visual function.
Segments & Chambers of the Eyeball-
The eyeball can be divided into two segments : Anterior & Posterior
1. Anterior segments -
- Anterior chamber - back of cornea, anterior of iris. The anterior chamber is about 2.5mm deep in the centre in normal adults. It contains about 0.25ml of the aqueous humour.
- Posterior chamber - back part of iris & part of ciliary body, anterior part of crystalline lens & it's zonules.
posterior part of lens, vitreous humour (a gel like material which fills the space behind the lens), retina, choroid & optic disc.
