Transverse section of head of chick embryo of forty-eight hours’ incubation Transverse section of head of chick embryo of fifty-two hours’ incubation, showing the lens and the optic cup. Eye formation in the human embryo begins at approximately three weeks into embryonic development and continues through the tenth week. [1]

Schematic diagram of the human eye. It shows a horizontal section through the right eye. The eye is made up of three coats, or layers, enclosing various anatomical structures. The outermost layer, known as the fibrous tunic, is composed of the cornea and sclera, which provide shape to the eye and support the deeper structures.

Between birth and age 13 the eye attains its mature size. It weighs 7.5 grams and its volume is roughly 6.5 ml. Along a line through the nodal (central) point of the eye is the optic axis, which is at a slight slant of five degrees toward the nose from the visual axis (i.e., the section going towards the focused point of the fovea).
The uvea (/ ˈ j uː v i ə /; [1] derived from Latin: uva meaning "grape"), also called the uveal layer, uveal coat, uveal tract, vascular tunic or vascular layer, is the pigmented middle layer of the three concentric layers that make up an eye, precisely between the inner retina and the outer fibrous layer composed of the sclera and cornea.
Iris Gonioscopy of the anterior chamber angle Anterior chamber angle cross-section imaged by an SD-OCT. The trabecular meshwork is an area of tissue in the eye located around the base of the cornea , near the ciliary body , and is responsible for draining the aqueous humor from the eye via the anterior chamber (the chamber on the front of the ...
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]
