Abstract
The outer layer of the eye (Fig. 1) is formed of a tough membrane, the sciera, consisting of firm connective tissue continuous in its anterior part with a transparent membrane, the cornea. The sclera enables the eye to maintain a constant shape and protects its contents. The same function is served by the cornea, which is also part of the dioptric apparatus of the eye. The membranes of the eye are under a certain intraocular pressure. The normal intraocular pressure lies within the limits of 15–30 mm Hg.
