AMPHIBLESTROIDES, in Anatomy, a Tunic, or Coat of the Eye, more usually called Retina. See RETINA. The Word is Greek, amphiblestroides, from amphiblestron, Rete, Net; compounded of amphi, circum, around, blestron, I cast; and eidos, Form; by reason of its Net-like Texture: whence the Latins also call it Retiformis.
