The globe of the eye, or bulbus oculi, is the frontmost sensory organ of the human ocular system, going from the cornea at the front, to the anterior part of the optic nerve at the back. More simply, the eyeball itself, as well as the ganglion cells in the retina that eventually transmit visual signals through the optic nerve. [1]
Full redraw: Group labels in accordance with the "Foundational Model Explorer." Added "Macula" and "Uvea" and removed "Zonular fibres." It has given better visibility inside the eye. The eyeball shape and size of different parts of the eye are now real...
The structure of the mammalian eye owes itself completely to the task of focusing light onto the retina. This light causes chemical changes in the photosensitive cells of the retina, the products of which trigger nerve impulses which travel to the brain. [18] In the mammalian eye, light enters the pupil and is focused on the retina by the lens.
Even when looking intently at a single spot, the eyes drift around. This ensures that individual photosensitive cells are continually stimulated in different degrees. Without changing input, these cells would otherwise stop generating output. Eye movements include drift, ocular tremor, and microsaccades. Some irregular drifts, movements smaller ...
With each eye producing a different image, a fused, high-resolution image is produced in the brain. The eyes of a mantis shrimp (here Odontodactylus scyllarus) are considered the most complex in the whole animal kingdom. The mantis shrimp has the world's most complex colour vision system. It has detailed hyperspectral colour vision. [6]

The capsule is a very thick basement membrane [2] and the thickness varies in different areas on the lens surface and with the age of the animal. It is composed of various types of fibers such as collagen IV , [ 3 ] laminin , etc. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] and these help it stay under constant tension. [ 7 ]
