A schematic of a human adult eye. The adult eye can be subdivided into two major domains: the anterior and posterior eye. The anterior segment includes the tissues shown on the right, moving from distal to proximal, the cornea, aqueous humour, iris, and lens. The lens is attached to the globe of the eye via the ciliary muscles and trabecular meshwork, which are derived from the ciliary body. The ciliary muscles and trabecular meshwork comprise the ciliary apparatus. The trabecular meshwork regulates the intraocular pressure of the eye by regulating fluid movement between the anterior and posterior regions of the eye. The posterior segment is made up of the most proximal parts of the eye. These include the retina proper and the back of the eye where the optic nerve exits. On the outside of the globe is the sclera, which adds rigidity to the eye. Internal to this layer is the choroid, which is made up largely Source: Transcription Factors in Eye Disease and Ocular Development, The Online Metabolic and Molecular Bases of Inherited Disease of blood vessels. The innermost tissue is the retina, which contains two major types of cells: an external layer one cell thick, the retinal pigment epithelium Citation: Valle D, Beaudet AL, Vogelstein B, Kinzler KW,with Antonarakis SE,humor.
