The anterior section comprises of the cornea, iris, and zoom lens. The cornea is clear and more curved, and it is from the bigger posterior portion, made up of the vitreous, retina, choroid, and the external white shell called the sclera. The cornea is normally about 11.5 mm (0.3 in) in diameter, and 0.5 mm (500 μm) thick near its center, the posterior chamber constitutes the rest of the five-sixths; its diameter is normally about 24 mm.

From the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi between Indigenous and settler cultures to the emergence of the first-ever state-funded M?ori television network, New Zealand has been a hotbed of Indigenous concerns. Given its history of colonization, coping with biculturalism is central to New Zealand life. Much of this ?bicultural drama? plays out in the media and is molded by an anxiety surrounding the ongoing struggle over citizenship rights that is seated within the politics of recognition. The Fourth Eye brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars to provide a critical and comprehensive account of the intricate and complex relationship between the media and M?ori culture. Examining the Indigenous mediascape, The Fourth Eye shows how M?ori filmmakers, actors, and media producers have depicted conflicts over citizenship rights and negotiated the representation of Indigenous people. From nineteenth-century M?ori-language newspapers to contemporary M?ori film and television, the contributors explore a variety of media forms including magazine cover stories, print advertisements, commercial images, and current M?ori-language newspapers to illustrate the construction, expression, and production of indigeneity through media.Focusing on New Zealand as a case study, the authors address the broader question: what is Indigenous media? While engaging with distinct themes such as the misrepresentation of M?ori people in the media, access of Indigenous communities to media technologies, and the use of media for activism, the essays in this much-needed new collection articulate an Indigenous media landscape that converses with issues that reach far beyond New Zealand.

Was it really possible that, after the lifetime I'd spent wondering about him, he was the guy a friend had just seen on the subway - the one who supposedly looked like my older twin?
