Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of the eyeball, which consists of three layers: the outer layer, the middle layer, and the inner layer.
Identify the outer layer of the eyeball, which includes the sclera and cornea. The sclera is the white part of the eye, and the cornea is the transparent front part.
Recognize the middle layer of the eyeball, known as the uvea, which includes the choroid, ciliary body, and iris. The choroid is a vascular layer that provides nutrients to the eye.
Identify the inner layer of the eyeball, which is the retina. The retina is responsible for receiving light and converting it into neural signals.
Conclude that the choroid is the middle layer of the wall of the eyeball, as it is part of the uvea and located between the sclera and the retina.
