is a complex organ, with parts derived from ectoderm and mesoderm in the head
region.
Eye
wall, anterior compartment, posterior compartment and lens.
Eyeball
intrinsic and extrinsic muscles.
Muscles of the eye
The wall of the eye consists of three layers or tunics:
a. Fibrous tunic - cornea and sclera
b. Vascular tunic - choroid, ciliary body and ciliary processes and iris
c. Nervous tunic - retina

Nervous tunic
The anterior compartment is composed of
anterior and posterior chambers that contain
aqueous humor.
The posterior compartment consists of the
vitreous chamber that contains vitreous
humor.
Both eyes develop from the
Optic field
by induction from the optic vesicles and placode
formation, thickens to form the
Lens placode
cells in the deep or inner pole of the lens elongate to form
Lens fibers
Cells in the outer or superficial pole of
the lens form a single layer of cuboidal or columnar epithelium called
Lens epithelium
The lens
fibers and lens epithelium produce lens proteins called
Crystallins
later on the corneal endothelial cells secrete
Hyaluronic acid
That destros the hyaluronic acid
hyaluronidase
is the reduced opening of the optic cup
Pupil
is derived from the thickened choroid
ectomesenchyme and caudal part of the overlapping portion of the optic cup.
Ciliary apparatus
Sorrounding the optic cup
Ectomesenchymal cells
which differentiates into the inner vascular later of the
wall called
choroid
outer fibrous layer called
sclera
In chick, 14 bony rings called
sclera ossicles
surround the outer margin
of the cornea.
