Sinopsis

The central nervous system develops from the neural tube. A thickening appears on either side of the neural tube in its anterior part, known as the optic plate. The optic plate grows towards the surface to form the optic vesicle. The two eyes develop from these optic vesicles and the ectoderm and mesoderm coming in contact with the optic vesicles. The optic vesicle invaginates from in front and below to form the optic cup. The line of invagination remains open for sometime as the embryonic fissure. The hyaloid artery enters through the fissure to provide nutrition to the developing structures. Later it atrophies and disappears. The inner layer of the optic cup forms the inner nine layers of the main retina and the outer layer develops into the pigment epithelium. The neural ectoderm secretes jelly-like structure, the vitreous which fills the cavity. The ciliary body and iris are formed by the anterior portion of the optic cup and mesoderm. The mesoderm around the cup differentiates to form the coats of eye, orbital structures, angle of anterior chamber and main structure of cornea. Meanwhile the surface ectoderm invaginates and later separates to form the lens. The surface ectoderm remains as the corneal and conjunctival epithelium. The mesoderm in front of the cornea grows in folds, unites and separates to form the lids.
