Summary Introduction
To review:
The difference between the cornea and the choroid in terms of location, structure, and functions.
Introduction:
The eye is a complex organ having many components that protect and help the photoreceptors cells to gather focus and process various light intensities and provide vision. The eye comprises three layers that is, the sclera, the choroid, and the retina. The retina is the innermost layer of the eye and it comprises photoreceptors rod and cone cells.
