- The vitreous gel is a clear gel that fills the inside of the eye.
- The optic nerve is a bundle of more than one million nerve fibers that carries visual messages from the retina to the brain.
- The macula is a small sensitive area of the retina that gives central vision. It contains the fovea.
- The fovea is the center of the macula and gives the sharpest vision.
- The retina is the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. It converts light into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve.
- The iris is the colored part of the eye that regulates the amount of light entering the eye.
- The cornea is the clear outer part of the eye's focusing system located at the front of the eye
- The lens is a clear part of the eye behind the iris that helps to focus light or image to the retina.
