The choroid also known as the choroidea or choroid coat is the vascular layer of the eye containing connective tissue and lying between the retina and the sclera. The human choroid is thickest at the far extreme rear of the eye (at 0.2 mm) while in the outlying areas it narrows to 0.1 mm. The choroid provides oxygen and nourishment to the outer layers of the retina. Along with the ciliary body and iris the choroid forms the uveal tract.
