The cornea, a clear window at the front of the eye, covers the iris and the pupil.
The pupil is the black dot at the centre of the eye, is a hole through which light can enter the eye.
A clear lens, is located behind the pupil, acts like a camera lens by focusing light onto the retina at the back of the eye.
The iris, or coloured part of the eye, surrounds the pupil. It controls how much light enters the eye by changing the size of the pupil.
The fovea is the center most part of the macula. This tiny area is responsible for our central, sharpest vision. It is key for reading, watching television, driving, and other activities that require the ability to see detail.
The retina is a light-sensitive inner lining at the back of the eye. Ten different layers of cells work together in the retina to detect light and turn it into electrical impulses.
