Fringe of the Iris

The iris fimbria is a small bundle of fibers located on the inner surface of the iris of the eye. It plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the eyeball and protecting it from damage.

The iris fimbria is composed of several types of fibers, including collagen, elastic, and muscle fibers. These fibers provide strength and elasticity to the iris tissue, as well as its ability to stretch and contract.

In addition, the iris fimbria contains blood vessels and nerves that provide nutrition and innervation to the tissues of the eye. Thanks to these structures, the iris can quickly adapt to changes in intraocular pressure and provide stability to the eyeball.

However, the iris fimbria is also vulnerable to various diseases and damage. For example, in glaucoma, when intraocular pressure increases, the iris tissue can become stretched and damaged, which can lead to vision loss. In addition, eye injuries such as blows and bruises can damage the iris fimbria and cause it to become deformed.

Thus, the iris fimbria plays an important role in the stability and functionality of the eyeball, but can also be vulnerable to damage and disease. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of this tissue and take measures to protect and treat it if necessary.
