<Li> The vascular tunic , also known as the tunica vasculosa oculi or the `` uvea '' , is the middle vascularized layer which includes the iris , ciliary body , and choroid . The choroid contains blood vessels that supply the retinal cells with necessary oxygen and remove the waste products of respiration . The choroid gives the inner eye a dark color , which prevents disruptive reflections within the eye . The iris is seen rather than the cornea when looking straight in one 's eye due to the latter 's transparency , the pupil ( central aperture of iris ) is black because there is no light reflected out of the interior eye . If an ophthalmoscope is used , one can see the fundus , as well as vessels ( which supply additional blood flow to the retina ) especially those crossing the optic disk -- the point where the optic nerve fibers depart from the eyeball -- among others </Li>
