What is a choroid and what is its function?
Absorbs light, and protects your eye.
What part of your eye that absorbs light within the eyeball to prevent glare?
The pupil and the lens. If you have large pupil like 7mm, you would feel glare at night when driving after lasik surgery. When you have cataract in old the scattering of light would make you photophobia Details from vodvos.com
What is another name for A thin layer of paint?

What are the three layers of the eye from the outer layer to the inner layer?
The eye contains three layers which are: the outer fibrous tunic, an intermediate vascular tunic, and an inner neural tunic (retina). The outer fibrous tunic function is to serve as the sclera and cornea. The cornea serves as a opening to the eye and helps with thefocus of light rays. The sclera protects from large and small particles and provides a connection for extrinsic muscles. The middle vascular tunic consists of three eye structures: choroid coat that helps to consumeexcess light, this is why the inside of the eye is dark and the ciliarry body which createsthe ciliary muscles and processes, and the iris which has smooth muscle controls the pupil size and also the colored part of the eye. The inner nervous tunic contains the retina andthe visual receptor cells. This portion of the eye is made of different cell types like the nerve cell.

What is the opaque middle layer of the eye?
choroid
What layer of the eye is responsible for supplying blood to the eye?
choroid
What is the pigmented layer of the eye called?
The pigmented layer of the eye is called the uvea.
What layer of the eye absorbs stray light rays?
choroid layer
What does the choriod do?
The choroid, also known as thechoroideaorchoroid coat, is thevascular layer of the eye, containingconnective tissue, and lying between theretina and thesclera.The choroid providesoxygen and nourishment to the outer layers of theretina. Along with theciliary body andiris, the choroid forms theuveal tract.
What is the vascular middle layer of the eye that provides the eye with blood called?
This is the middle layer of the eyeball and it is composed of the choroid, ciliary body and iris.
Is the choroid is also known as the white of the eye?
No. The outer layer of the eyem the white part, is the sclera. The choroid is the next layer and the retinal is next.
What layer in the eye contains melanocytes to dimish glare?
the choroid
What does the choroid of your eye do?
t makes sure that the eye stays in place. That is a horrible answer with no truth to it at all. The choroid is a layer of the eye deep to the retina and superficial to the sclera. It provides oxygen and nutrients to the retina through its extensive network of capillaries. The retina itself does not have a huge vascular supply, because the vessels would interfere with the formation of the image in the eye. This is why the choroid is necessary. The choroid is also very heavily pigmented due to an abundance of melanin. This increased pigment allows the choroid to absorb excess light and minimize reflections within the eye. The choroid along with the iris and ciliary body make up what is known as the uveal tract.
What is the middle layer of the eye that contains the melanin and blood vessels?
Choroid
What is the function of choroidea?
The choroid, also known as the choroidea or choroid coat, is the vascular layer of the eye, containing connective tissue, and lying between the retina and the sclera. The human choroid is thickest at the far extreme rear of the eye (at 0.2 mm), while in the outlying areas it narrows to 0.1 mm.[1] The choroid provides oxygen and nourishment to the outer layers of the retina. Along with the ciliary body and iris, the choroid forms theuveal tract.
