Eye anatomy, artwork

Eye anatomy, computer artwork. At the front of the eye is the cornea, a transparent coating. Behind this is the lens, which is partly covered by the iris. The lens focuses light on the retina at the back of the eye. Light sensitive cells in the retina transmit impulses to the brain via the optic nerve. Behind the retina is the choroid, which contains blood vessels that nourish the back of the eye. The outer layer is the sclera, the white of the eye. The eyeball is filled with a gelatinous substance called vitreous humor. Several muscles hold the eyeball in place and allow it to rotate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomy of the human eye, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. The image highlights various components that contribute to our sense of sight. At the forefront is the transparent cornea, acting as a protective coating for the eye. Just behind it lies the lens, partially covered by the colorful iris, which plays a crucial role in adjusting light intake. The lens diligently focuses incoming light onto the retina positioned at the back of the eye. Within this delicate layer reside light-sensitive cells that transmit visual impulses to our brain via the optic nerve. Behind this vital network lies another essential structure called choroid, housing blood vessels responsible for nourishing and maintaining optimal functioning of our eyes. The outermost layer known as sclera forms an elegant white covering around our eyeball, providing structural support and protection. Filling up most of its interior is a gelatinous substance called vitreous humor, ensuring proper shape and stability. To facilitate movement and rotation, several muscles work in harmony to hold and position our eyeball accurately within its socket. This comprehensive illustration serves as an invaluable tool for understanding normal eye anatomy with labeled details aiding comprehension. Immerse yourself in this visually stunning piece that not only celebrates biology but also invites contemplation on how we perceive and interpret our surroundings through this remarkable organ - our eyes!
