    Hey I think you missed the blind spot of the eye, known as the Optic Disc. Excellent and very helpful video though! :)

    The conjunctiva actually does not cover the cornea. It covers the front part of the sclera and the inside of the eyelid. Just wanted people to know!

    I believe the area that you referred to as the posterior chamber is actually the vitreous humor; it is important not to confuse the two. The posterior chamber is the small space in front of the suspensory ligaments and behind the iris.

    I'll have to say, I've used Kahn Academy through out my entire college career working my way to earn my degree. I'm shocked that they have put their mark on this annotation for the structure of the eye. The spacial arrangement of the anatomical features is totally misrepresented given that the title of the video is labeled structure of the eye. The time he spent talking about how light is refracted then he draws the optic nerve dead center of the eye... And adding to it the time spent explaining the macula. Kahn should really consider re-doing this video to ensure its thousands of viewers proper education for the optics system.

    The front of the iris covered by thin transparent membrane call the conjuctiva which helps to protect the parts behind it .The conjunctiva Is always kept moist by a fluid made in the tear glands.This fluid contains an Enzyme called Lysozyme which can kill bacteria

    Uhm.. the portion between the cornea to the anterior surface of the lens is termed as "Anterior segment" and behind the lens to the anterior surface of the retina is called "Posterior segment"; "Anterior chamber" refers to the space between the cornea and the pupil, posterior to the pupil to the lens is called "posterior chamber." side note, glaucoma can be due to decrease clearance when the iridocorneal junction (in the anterior chamber) reduced in angle/ reduced in drainage.

    not sure if you mentioned it but you point out the posterior chamber when it's the posterior segment. posterior chamber is just posterior to the iris. the posterior and anterior segments are what i think you meant. the anterior and posterior chambers are different.

    One point to note: you mentioned the Cornea "bends the light a little bit" and the Lens "bends it a bit more." This is somewhat misleading as the Cornea does the bulk of the work in bending light, while the Lens only helps with additional fine focusing. The incoming light ray through air is at a refractive index of about 1. The Cornea's refractive index is 1.33 (as it's mostly made of water), and the Lens' refractive index is 1.42 (more like glass). So, the Cornea is responsible for bending the light ~33%, and the Lens another ~6.7%. Secondly, it might be helpful to specify the "red eye" effect is from blood supply in the central retinal artery supplying the retina with blood, rather than the retina itself being tinted red.
