 Schematic diagram of the human eye. The sclera is the opaque (usually white), fibrous, protective layer of the eye containing collagen and elastic fibers.[1] In children, it is thinner and shows some of the underlying pigment, appearing slightly blue. In the old, however, fatty deposits on the sclera can make it appear slightly yellow. Image File history File links Schematic_diagram_of_the_human_eye_with_English_annotations. ...

Diseases and disorders
-
There are some diseases like scleritis that cause partial blindness. These diseases produce a dark vertical line through the eye sight which cause less than 100% visibility. This is a partial list of human eye diseases and disorders. ...
Scleritis is a serious inflammatory disease that affects the white outer coating of the eye, known as the sclera. ...
Blindness is the condition of lacking visual perception due to physiological or psychological factors. ...

The sclera and cornea form the fibrous tunic of the bulb of the eye; the sclera is opaque, and constitutes the posterior five-sixths of the tunic; the cornea is transparent, and forms the anterior sixth. ...
The conjunctiva is a membrane that covers the sclera (white part of the eye) and lines the inside of the eyelids. ...
The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber, providing most of an eyes optical power [1]. Together with the lens, the cornea refracts light and, as a result, helps the eye to focus. ...
Schlemms canal, also known as canal of Schlemm, is a circular channel in the eye that collects aqueous humor from the anterior chamber and delivers it into the bloodstream . ...
This is an area of tissue located around the base of the cornea, near the ciliary body, and is responsible for draining the aqueous humour from the eye via the anterior chamber (the chamber on the front of the eye covered by the cornea). ...

The fovea, a part of the eye, is a spot located in the center of the macula. ...
The optic disc or optic nerve head is the point in the eye where the optic nerve fibres leave the retina; it is not sensitive to light and thus also known as the blind spot or anatomical blind spot. Inspection of the optic disc by ophthalmoscopy can give an indication...

The anterior chamber if the fluid-filled space inside the eye between the iris and the corneas innermost surface, the endothelium . ...
The aqueous humour is the clear, watery fluid that fills the complex space in the front of the eye which is bounded at the front by the cornea and at the rear by the front surface or face of the vitreous humour. ...
The posterior chamber is a narrow chink behind the peripheral part of the iris, and in front of the suspensory ligament of the lens and the ciliary processes. ...
Light from a single point of a distant object and light from a single point of a near object being brought to a focus by changing the curvature of the lens. ...
The posterior segment is the back two-thirds of the eye that includes the anterior hyaloid membrane and all structures behind it: the vitreous humor, retina, choroid, and optic nerve. ...
Vitreous humour is the clear aqueous solution that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the vertebrate eyeball. ...
