Abstract

The neurites within the retinal layer are demonstrated into two layers namely; an anterior thick and p < /strong>osterior thin. The choroidal layer is clearly divided into two laminae, an anterior choroidal lamina and a posterior scleral lamina. The scleral layer is consists of connective tissue fibers strands of the collagenous and elastic varieties. The myelinated axons of the optic nerve are demonstrated within the scleral layer into well distinct bundles.
