The limbus forms the border between the transparent cornea and opaque sclera, contains the pathways of aqueous humour outflow, and is the site of surgical incisions for cataract and glaucoma. … Their superficial branches form arcades to supply the limbal conjunctiva and peripheral cornea.
What is the limbal conjunctiva?
The corneal limbus is the border between the cornea (and the conjunctiva covering it) and the sclera. It is highly vascularised. Its stratified squamous epithelium is continuous with the epithelium covering the cornea.
Is the limbus part of the conjunctiva?
The conjunctiva is a mucous membrane that covers the surface of the eyeball and posterior aspect of the eyelid that functions to protect the eye and allow the eyelids to move smoothly over the globe ( Fig. 27.1 ). It is divided into four main regions: limbus, bulbar, fornix, and palpebral (tarsal) conjunctiva.
