The conus papillaris is a feature of the reptilian eye which originates from the ventro-temporal optic nerve head and rises into the vitreous.[1] It is believed to supply retinal nutrition.[2] It is similar in function to the avian pecten oculi.[1] It is functionless in adult crocodilians, and has been almost entirely replaced by other structures in most snakes.[1]
