it contains numerous melanocytes.
The inner layer of the eyeball is the retina layer. The retina contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) which are essential for vision. The optic nerve starts at the back of the retina (at the optic disc). Capillaries are more associated with the middle - layer (choroid) which is rich in blood vessels. Melanocytes (which produce melanin for light absorption) are also more characteristic of the middle layer (choroid) to prevent light scattering.
