Inside the eye and not normally visible is the
lens which is a clear oval shape. It is held in
place by thin ligaments. It changes shape to
focus light from near or far objects. The retina
is a lining inside the eye. It receives light
rays and sends messages along the optic nerve to
the brain. The small central part of the retina,
the macula is the part capable of seeing fine
detail. The fluids in the eye (aqueous and
vitreous) maintain the correct shape and pressure
in the eye.
