I think you mean choroid

The choroid, also known as the choroidea or choroid coat, is the vascular layer of the eye lying between the retina and the sclera. The choroid provides oxygen and nourishment to the outer layers of the retina [1].

Along with the ciliary body and iris, the choroid forms the uveal tract. In humans and other primates, darkly colored melanin pigment in the choroid helps limit reflections within the eye that would potentially result in the perception of confusing images. Poor vision frequently results from lack of this pigmentation in human albinos. By contrast, the choroid of many other animals contains reflective materials that help to collect light in dim situations; this is one type of tapetum lucidum.

The red eye effect on photos is caused by the reflection of light from choroid. It appears red because of the choroid's blood vessels.

I am thinking you are looking for the word Choroid which provises oxygen and nourishment to the retina;s outer walls and along with the ciliary body and the iris form the uveal tract
in which a darkly covered melanin pigment helps dim reflections in order for us not to be confused in what we are seeing.
