The retina which is where the image from the eye lens is focused. The retina is the reflective part of the eye. That's why cat's eye reflect so well, their retina are more exposed in the night because their pupils (or whatever they are in a cat) open wider than ours exposing more of that mirror at the back, the retina.

What four structures of the eye are refractions?

Cornea - the transparent outer covering of the eye that refracts light as it enters. Lens - a flexible, transparent structure that can change shape to focus light onto the retina. Aqueous humor - a fluid that helps refract light as it passes through the front of the eye. Vitreous humor - a gel-like substance that helps maintain the shape of the eye and refracts light as it passes through to the back of the eye.
