Question: Whats Inside are Eyes?

Good question.

Starting from the outside of the front of our eyes and working in

-cornea: this is the outside surface of the eye
-aqueous humor: this is like a liquid jelly that fills the first compartment of our eye and goes from the cornea to the…
-iris: this is the coloured bit that opens and closes depending on how bright the light is
-lens: this focuses the light onto the back of our eye (The lens is actually much nearer the front of the eye than the back.)
-vitreous humor: this is another jelly like substance (it’s thicker than aqueous humour) that fills up the majority of our eye
-retina: this is the back of the eye and it is where the light is registered by special light-sensitive cells.
