Conjunctival ring

The conjunctival ring (Conjunctival ring) is an anatomical term used to refer to the area around the eyeball that covers it above and below. It is formed by the conjunctiva, a thin mucous membrane that covers the eyeball and the inner surface of the eyelids.

The Conjunctival Ring is essential for eye health and vision. It protects the eye from damage and infections, and also participates in the formation of tear flow and regulation of eye moisture. In addition, it is involved in maintaining the shape of the eye and ensures the stability of its position in the orbit.

The conjunctival ring consists of two layers: superficial and deep. The superficial layer consists of epithelial cells that form a transparent mucous membrane. The deep layer is represented by connective tissue, which provides the strength and elasticity of the conjunctival ring.

Normally, the conjunctival ring has a smooth and elastic surface that does not contain visible defects. However, with some diseases or injuries, scars, cysts or other defects may appear on the surface of the ring. Also, the presence of various formations, such as cysts, papillomas or fibroids, may be associated with a disruption of the normal structure of the conjunctival ring.

To diagnose diseases of the conjunctival ring, various research methods are used, such as biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy and ultrasound. Treatment of conjunctival ring diseases depends on the cause of their occurrence and may include conservative methods such as drug therapy, as well as surgical methods.

It is important to remember that the health of the conjunctival ring is important for maintaining eye health and visual function. Therefore, if any symptoms associated with diseases of the conjunctival ring appear, you must consult an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment.
