It lies sandwiched between the sclera (white of the eye) and the retina.
This layer contains blood vessels and connective tissue.
These vessels supply nutrients to the inner portion of the eye.
In fact, it is very much a part of the uvea only.
The inflammation of this middle layer is called choroiditis.
Toward the front of the eye, it is connected with the ciliary body; whereas at the back of the eyeball, it connects to the edges of the optic nerve.

A perfectly healthy human eye can see only one part of everything it looks at, the best; and all other parts relatively worse than that. Such an eye is said to have the most acute vision through central fixation.
An eye with any kind of vision problems (which most people have - whether apparent or latent) - loses this central fixation and gets rather economically fixated. The only way out is to get that central fixation back (possible!) through vision therapy.
