The junction between the cornea and sclera is what?
The junction between the cornea and sclera is called the limbus. It serves as the boundary where the transparent cornea meets the opaque sclera, playing a crucial role in maintaining the health of the eye. The limbus contains stem cells that are essential for corneal regeneration and also houses blood vessels and nerves. This area is important for the overall function and protection of the eye.
Do any part of the eye is avascular?

How do your eyes get oxygen?

What surrounds the cornea?
The cornea is surrounded by several structures, including the sclera, which is the white part of the eye that provides protection and structure. Additionally, the limbus is the border area where the cornea meets the sclera, containing stem cells that help regenerate corneal epithelial cells. The anterior chamber of the eye, filled with aqueous humor, lies just behind the cornea, while the eyelids and conjunctiva provide further protection and lubrication.
What is a clear cornea revealing a dessimace window?
I think you're talking about Descemets membrane- a layer within the cornea behind the endothelium with various bio-mechanical functions to keep the cornea clear. You can view it using a slit-lamp.
Is it true or false the anterior chamber of the eye is located behind the cornea and in front of the iris?
Yes, not to be confused with the anterior cavity (segment in some references) which is everthing between the cornea and the lens.........
What ocular condion must be ascertained before tube-shunt surgery?

Where was the aqueous humor in a dissected eye?
The aqueous humor in a dissected eye would be found in the anterior chamber, located between the cornea and the iris. It helps nourish and maintain the shape of the eye, as well as contribute to intraocular pressure regulation.
What to do when the cornea is shattered?
