The retina is the thin layer of nerve tissue that coats the inside of the eye. It is about 1/4mm thick, and acts like a “film” in a camera to capture light and convert it into electrical signals for sight.

The macula is the central part of the retina, and is the most important structure for sight. It is used for central vision, such as when reading, looking at the television or people’s faces.
The optic nerve is the cabling that takes the electrical signals from the retina and passes it to the brain. It contains approximately 1 million nerve fibres (axons).
The sclera is the tough, white layer of the eye. It is the outer wall of the eye, and is located outside of the choroid. The sclera is visible from the front as the white part of the eye, but extends around the entire eyeball to the back of the eye.
