Between lens and cornea
What is the internal layer of the eye
Retinal layer which has two parts
Neural and pigmented

Retina
What’s the pigmented layer
Under neural layer
Attached to choroid layer
Support neural layer
What’s the centre of the retina
Macula
Where si the lens situated
Between vitrous humour and the pupil
What alters the lens shape
