Limbus is junction b/w 2 (attachment of conjunctiva)
Vascular /middle coat parts
(uvea)
Iris (+pupil)
Ciliary body (ora serrata to iris)
Choroid. (optic disc to ora serrata)
Nervous/ inner coat
(retina)
Optic disc to ora serrata
Visual function
Projects to cortex via visual pathway

Anterior
Posterior
Anterior segmentof eye
