The outer nuclear layer of the retina can be seen to continue at the surface of this bulging tissue (white arrows). D&E, retinal sections in 6 month eyes. F&G, corneal sections in 6 month eyes. H–J, 12 month Foxf2W174R optic nerves that do not show signs of glaucomatous change. v, vein; p, photoreceptors; onl, outer nuclear layer; inl, inner nuclear layer; ce, corneal epithelium; cs, corneal stroma.
