	The Iris
		The iris, visible through the clear cornea as the colored disc inside the eye, is a thin diaphragm composed mostly of connective tissue and smooth muscle fibers.
		The iris divides the anterior compartment, the space separating the cornea and the lens, into the anterior chamber (between the cornea and the iris) and the posterior chamber (between the iris and the lens).
		Anatomical structures posterior to the iris, which also are part of the uvea, are the ciliary body (within which is the ciliary muscle which controls the shape of the crystalline lens) and the choroid (located underneath the retina and which contains the retina’s blood supply).

	Eye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In most vertebrates and some mollusks the eye works by allowing light to enter it and project onto a light-sensitive panel of cells retina at the rear of the eye, where the light is detected and signals are transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.
		Such eyes are typically roughly spherical, filled with a transparent gel-like substance called the vitreous humour, with a focusing lens and often an iris which regulates the intensity of the light that enters the eye.
		However, the development of the eye is considered to be monophyletic; that is, all modern eyes, varied as they are, have their origins in a proto-eye believed to have evolved some 540 million years ago (Mya).

	Iris of The Eye (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The iris is a thin diaphragm composed mostly of connective tissue and smooth muscle fibers that is seen from the outside as the colored portion of the eye.
		It extends forward from the periphery of the ciliary body and lies between the cornea and the lens.
		The iris divides the space separating these parts, which is called the "anterior cavity," into an "anterior chamber" (between the cornea and the iris) and a "posterior chamber" (between the iris and the lens).

	Red-eye effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The flash light is focused by the lens of the eye onto the blood-rich retina at the back of the eye and the image of the illuminated retina is again focussed by the lens of the eye back to the camera resulting in a red appearance of the eye on the photo.
		Retinoblastoma is a cancer of the eye that often causes the appearance of a "white eye" effect instead of the expected red eye.
		The light enters the eye in a direction away from the optical axis of the camera and is refocused by the eye lens back along the same axis.

	Iris - eye anatomy
		The round opening in the center of the iris is called the pupil.
		The iris is embedded with tiny muscles that dilate (widen) and constrict (narrow) the pupil size.
		The iris is flat and divides the front of the eye (anterior chamber) from the back of the eye (posterior chamber).

	Eye Anatomy: Iris and Pupil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The iris is the part of the eye that identifies your eye color, and is shaped like a flat donut.
		The reason why their eyes appear pink is that the light reflects off the back of the eye, where blood vessels are, making them reddish-pink in appearance.
		This is because the eyes do not like abrupt changes in light, and therefore, has the iris to constrict to allow less light in.

		Essential iris atrophy is a very rare, progressive disorder of the eye characterized by a pupil that is out of place and/or distorted, areas of degeneration on the iris (atrophy), and/or holes in the iris.

	Iris recognition.
		Because the iris is a protected internal organ whose random texture is stable throughout life, it can serve as a kind of living passport or a living password that one need not remember but can always present.
		Because the randomness of iris patterns has very high dimensionality, recognition decisions are made with confidence levels high enough to support rapid and reliable exhaustive searches through national-sized databases.
		Iris recognition is forecast to play a role in a wide range of other applications in which a person's identity must be established or confirmed.
