This field shows the retina (R), detached here artificially from the choroid (arrows).

The retina is continuous with the optic nerve (O) at the exit of the ocular globe. Large vessels (*) are seen in the centre of the optic nerve.

The sclera (Sc) and the space occupied by the vitreous body (Vi) are labelled.
