The uvea is the middle layer between the white part of – called the sclera – and the inner layer (retina) of the eye.
Uvea contains three important structures:
- The iris: That’s the coloured circle at the front of your eye.
- The ciliary body: Its job is to help your lens focus and keep it healthy.
- The choroid: This is a group of blood vessels that give your retina the nutrients it needs.
