Are eyes organs? It’s a question many people ask. Composed of many intricate parts, the eye bends light rays to stimulate nerve cells in the retina and, by way of the optic nerve, sends messages for interpretation by the brain.

If you’re interested in learning more about eye anatomy, this guide is for you. From are eyes organs to what are choroid and vitreous, we’re answering all your burning eye questions!
