&hand; The essential parts of the eye are inclosed in a tough outer coat, the sclerotic , to which the muscles moving it are attached, and which in front changes into the transparent cornea. A little way back of cornea, the crystalline lens is suspended, dividing the eye into two unequal cavities, a smaller one in front filled with a watery fluid, the aqueous humor , and larger one behind filled with a clear jelly, the vitreous humor . The sclerotic is lined with a highly pigmented membrane, the choroid , and this is turn is lined in the back half of the eyeball with the nearly transparent retina , in which the fibers of the optic nerve ramify. The choroid in front is continuous with the iris , which has a contractile opening in the center, the pupil , admitting light to the lens which brings the rays to a focus and forms an image upon the retina, where the light, falling upon delicate structures called rods and cones , causes them to stimulate the fibres of the optic nerve to transmit visual impressions to the brain.
