  2. Corneal limbus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_limbus

    The corneal limbus is the border between the cornea and the sclera. [1] It is highly vascularised. [1] Its stratified squamous epithelium is continuous with the epithelium covering the cornea. [2] The corneal limbus contains radially-oriented fibrovascular ridges known as the palisades of Vogt that contain limbal stem cells.

  3. Limbal ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbal_ring

    A limbal ring is a dark ring around the iris of the eye, where the sclera meets the cornea. [1] It is a dark-colored manifestation of the corneal limbus resulting from optical properties of the region. [2] The appearance and visibility of the limbal ring can be negatively affected by a variety of medical conditions concerning the peripheral ...

    The corneal limbus is the part of the eye where the cornea (front/center) meets the sclera (white part of the eye). Thought to be caused by increased calcium concentration in the blood, this sign however persists after calcium phosphate concentration returns to normal. [1] Compare the limbus sign (calcification) with arcus senilis (lipid). [2]

    Limbus sign is caused by dystrophic calcification at the corneal limbus, and can be confused with AS in geriatric populations. [5] Anterior embryotoxon is a congenital widening of the corneal limbus. [1] Posterior embryotoxon is a congenital thickening and anterior displacement of schwalbe's line. [1]

  7. Aqueous humour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_humour

    The internal wall of the canal is very delicate and allows the fluid to filter due to the high pressure of the fluid within the eye. [7] The secondary route is the uveoscleral drainage , and is independent of the intraocular pressure, the aqueous flows through here, but to a lesser extent than through the trabecular meshwork (approx. 10% of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenon's_capsule

    Tenon's capsule (/ t ə ˈ n oʊ n /), also known as the Tenon capsule, fascial sheath of the eyeball (Latin: vagina bulbi) or the fascia bulbi, is a thin membrane which envelops the eyeball from the optic nerve to the corneal limbus, separating it from the orbital fat and forming a socket in which it moves.

  9. Trabecular meshwork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabecular_meshwork

    The trabecular meshwork is an area of tissue in the eye located around the base of the cornea, near the ciliary body, and is responsible for draining the aqueous humor from the eye via the anterior chamber (the chamber on the front of the eye covered by the cornea).
