Bruch's Membrane (anatomy)

Bruch's membrane is a thin layer of tissue located between the retina and the choroid in the eye. It plays a vital role in supporting the retina, which is responsible for capturing light and sending visual information to the brain. This membrane helps facilitate the exchange of nutrients and waste products between the retina and the underlying blood supply. Healthy Bruch's membrane is essential for proper vision, and damage to it can lead to eye diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, which can significantly affect eyesight.
