The ocular structures most resistant to direct injury are the cornea (the clear front of the eye) and the sclera (the white part of the shell around the eye). The cornea and the sclera are contiguous.
The eye
The sclera is double the thickness of the cornea. The center of the cornea is thinnest, followed by the periphery, then sclera.

The cornea and sclera help protect the eye.
Keratoscleritis is inflammation of the sclera and cornea.
The opaque tissue surrounding the cornea is called the sclera. It is the white part of the eye that helps to maintain the eye's shape and protect the inner structures.

The anterior continuation of the sclera is the cornea, which is the transparent front part of the eye. The cornea allows light to enter the eye and plays a crucial role in focusing images on the retina. It also provides protection and helps maintain the eye's shape. Together with the sclera, the cornea forms the eye's outer protective layer.
The front transparent part of the sclera is called the cornea. It serves as the eye's primary lens, allowing light to enter and helping to focus images onto the retina. The cornea also provides protection to the inner structures of the eye and plays a crucial role in vision.
