1. The organ of sight or vision. In man, and the vertebrates
generally, it is properly the movable ball or globe in the
orbit, but the term often includes the adjacent parts. In
most invertebrates the eyes are immovable ocelli, or
compound eyes made up of numerous ocelli. See Ocellus.
Description of illustration: a b Conjunctiva; c Cornea; d
Sclerotic; e Choroid; f Cillary Muscle; g Cillary Process;
h Iris; i Suspensory Ligament; k Prosterior Aqueous
Chamber between h and i; l Anterior Aqueous Chamber; m
Crystalline Lens; n Vitreous Humor; o Retina; p Yellow
spot; q Center of blind spot; r Artery of Retina in center
of the Optic Nerve.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The essential parts of the eye are inclosed in a tough
outer coat, the sclerotic, to which the muscles moving
it are attached, and which in front changes into the
transparent cornea. A little way back of cornea, the
crystalline lens is suspended, dividing the eye into
two unequal cavities, a smaller one in front filled
with a watery fluid, the aqueous humor, and larger one
behind filled with a clear jelly, the vitreous humor.
The sclerotic is lined with a highly pigmented
membrane, the choroid, and this is turn is lined in the
back half of the eyeball with the nearly transparent
retina, in which the fibers of the optic nerve ramify.
The choroid in front is continuous with the iris, which
has a contractile opening in the center, the pupil,
admitting light to the lens which brings the rays to a
focus and forms an image upon the retina, where the
light, falling upon delicate structures called rods and
cones, causes them to stimulate the fibres of the optic
nerve to transmit visual impressions to the brain.
[1913 Webster]
2. The faculty of seeing; power or range of vision; hence,
judgment or taste in the use of the eye, and in judging of
objects; as, to have the eye of a sailor; an eye for the
