Khurana systematically organizes the eyeball into three distinct "coats" or layers, a structure essential for both protection and function: The Outer Fibrous Coat: This includes the transparent (the anterior 1/6th) and the opaque white (the posterior 5/6th). The Middle Vascular Coat (Uvea): Composed of the ciliary body , this layer is the eye's nutritional powerhouse. The Inner Nervous Coat:
