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 years 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.          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.          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 sailor; an eye for the             beautiful or picturesque.          3.

The space commanded by the organ of sight; scope of             vision; hence, face; front; the presence of an object             which is directly opposed or confronted; immediate             presence.                         We shell express our duty in his eye. --Shak.                         Her shell your hear disproved to her eyes. --Shak.          5.
