Scleral Roller

The scleral ridge is a circular protrusion of the inner surface of the sclera (the transparent shell of the eyeball), located at the level of the iridocorneal (corneal-iris) angle. The sclera is the outer shell of the eye and performs a protective function, and also participates in the formation of the refractive optical system of the eye.

The scleral ridge is formed as a result of the formation and development of the eyeball and is an important anatomical formation. It provides stability to the cornea and iris and prevents their displacement. In addition, the scleral ridge plays a role in maintaining normal intraocular pressure.

However, in some cases the scleral ridge may be redundant or too large. This can lead to various ophthalmological problems such as myopia, astigmatism, cataracts and others. In such cases, surgery may be required to remove the excess scleral ridge.

Thus, the scleral ridge is an important anatomical structure of the eye that plays an important role in its functioning. However, in some cases, it can be excessive and lead to various ophthalmological diseases. Therefore, if you have any vision problems, you should consult an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment.

Scleral ridge (lat. crista lentis) is a ring-shaped thickening of the sclera in the area of ​​the anterior chamber of the eye in some animals, including humans. In Latin - crista scleralis. A circular protrusion (ridge) or thickening in the area of ​​the iridocorneal articulation, located on the meridional side under the upper end of the trabecula.
