Levator palpebrae superioris muscle Coronal Section of Eyeball • Fibrous outer layer – sclera and cornea • Vascular middle layer – Choroid, ciliary body, iris • Inner layer – Retina, may be detached • Macula • Optic disc • Lens What are the 3 layers of the eye?
1. Outer fibrous layer (sclera and cornea) 2. Middle vascular layer (choroid, ciliary body, iris). Lens is CT behind 3. Inner nerve layer (retina)
