Uvea

The middle coat of the eyeball, consisting of the choroid in the back of the eye and the ciliary body and iris in the front of the eye.


A layer of organs in the eye beneath the sclera, formed of the iris, the ciliary body and the choroid.


Layer of the eye containing the iris, ciliary body, and choroid.


The vascular pigmented layer of the eye, which lies beneath the outer layer (sclera). It consists of the choroid, ciliary body, and iris.


A term applied to the middle coat of the eye, including the iris, ciliary body and choroid.


The highly vascular middle layer of the eyeball, immediately beneath the sclera. It consists of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid, and forms the pigmented layer.


The uvea, situated in the middle layer of protective tissue encircling the eye, encompasses the choroid, iris, and ciliary body. This pigmented structure boasts a rich blood vessel network, ensuring its well-supplied state.


This eye component includes the iris (the colored region encircling the pupil), the ciliary body along with its muscle responsible for lens focusing, and the choroid (the layer rich in blood vessels positioned just beneath the retina).


The uvea receives ample blood supply, with the iris containing vessels that provide nourishment to the muscles responsible for pupil dilation and constriction. Additionally, the blood vessels within the choroid serve the purpose of delivering oxygen and nutrients to the retina.


Clusters of pigment cells, found predominantly at the rear of the iris and spread across the choroid, are responsible for the eye’s coloration and contribute to enhancing its optical efficiency.
