optic cup
The optic cup is a two-layered cup-like structure derived from the optic vesicle during the embryonic development of the eye. It eventually gives rise to the retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the inner surface of the eye. Any abnormalities or damage to the optic cup can result in various eye disorders and vision problems.

Optic cup
During embryonic development of the eye, the outer wall of the bulb of the optic vesicles becomes thickened and invaginated, and the bulb is thus converted into a cup, the optic cup, consisting of two strata of cells. These two strata are continuous with each other at the cup margin, which ultimately overlaps the front of the lens and reaches as far forward as the future aperture of the pupil.
