Corneal limbus1

• The human cornea borders with the sclera at the corneal limbus. (wikipedia.org)

Sclera4

• In lampreys, the cornea is solely an extension of the sclera, and is separate from the skin above it, but in more advanced vertebrates it is always fused with the skin to form a single structure, albeit one composed of multiple layers. (wikipedia.org)
• The junction between cornea and sclera is called the limbus. (medcell.org)
• An annular transitional zone, approximately 1 mm wide, between the cornea and the bulbar conjunctiva and sclera. (bvsalud.org)
• It is ophthalmologically significant in that it appears on the outer surface of the eyeball as a slight furrow, marking the line between the clear cornea and the sclera. (bvsalud.org)

Anterior5

• The cornea (PL: corneas or corneae) is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. (wikipedia.org)
• Along with the anterior chamber and lens, the cornea refracts light, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power. (wikipedia.org)
• From the anterior to posterior the layers of the human cornea are: 1. (wikipedia.org)
• The cornea is located in the anterior portion of this layer. (medcell.org)
• The ciliary body is located in the anterior portion of the uveal layer, right behind the limbus. (medcell.org)

Layers1

• The human cornea has six layers Corneas of other primates have five known layers. (wikipedia.org)

Structure2

• dua's layer : the fourth layer of cornea is dua's layer which is nothing but a thickened stroma in the poster most part of the stroma this was recently declared as the newly added structure, thus making the cornea a 6 layered structure rather than just 5 layer structure. (wikipedia.org)
• The corneo-scleral layer supports the structure of the eye with its tough fibroelastic composition. (medcell.org)

Approximately1

• In humans, the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 dioptres. (wikipedia.org)

Human cornea4

• The human cornea borders with the sclera at the corneal limbus. (wikipedia.org)
• The human cornea has six layers Corneas of other primates have five known layers. (wikipedia.org)
• From the anterior to posterior the layers of the human cornea are: 1. (wikipedia.org)
• Caption = Vertical section of human cornea from near the margin. (wikidoc.org)

Thickened stroma1

• dua's layer : the fourth layer of cornea is dua's layer which is nothing but a thickened stroma in the poster most part of the stroma this was recently declared as the newly added structure, thus making the cornea a 6 layered structure rather than just 5 layer structure. (wikipedia.org)

Conjunctiva1

• A pterygium is a wing-shaped fibrovascular proliferation of the conjunctiva that grows across the cornea. (cehjournal.org)

Blood vessels1

• Because transparency is of prime importance, the healthy cornea does not have or need blood vessels within it. (wikipedia.org)

Terms1

• Medical terms related to the cornea often start with the prefix "kerat-" from the Greek word κέρας, horn. (wikipedia.org)

Transparent1

• CMG}} The '''substantia propria''' (or '''stroma of [[cornea]]''') is fibrous, tough, unyielding, and perfectly transparent. (wikidoc.org)
