    1. Contains receptor cells sensitive to light
    2. CORNEA
      1. Refracts the light rays as they enter the eye
        1. Cannot change its shape
        2. SUSPENSORY LIGAMENT
          1. Strong fibres that hold the lens in position
          2. LENS
            1. Responsible for fine adjustments to focusing
            2. CILIARY MUSCLE
              1. A ring muscles that contract or relax to change the shape of the lens
              2. IRIS
