Retina is the tissue on the back of the eye that has the actual light receptors. The iris is the blue/brown/grey/green part of the eye around the "black spot", it's a muscle which responds to the amount of light by contracting and expanding, protecting your eyes from the harsher light, and opening them up for darker. The "Black spot" is the pupil. Sclera, is the "White of the eye" which protects the outer portions of the eye. There is a transparent protection around the iris and the opening of the pupil called the cornea, which also focuses the light. In addition on the inside of the pupil there is a lens, aptly named the lens of the eye.
