Fascia of the Eyeball

Fascia of the Eyeball (lat. Fascia bulbi) is a connective tissue membrane that covers the outside of the eyeball. It consists of dense fibrous tissue covered on the outside by the eye capsule.

The fascia is located between the sclera and episclera. Its thickness can vary from 0.2 to 0.5 mm, depending on the age and gender of the person.

The main function of the fascia is to protect the eyeball from mechanical damage and protect its contents from external influences. In addition, it participates in the formation of the shape of the eye and ensures its stability.

If the fascia of the eyeball is damaged, its protrusion or retraction may occur. This can lead to decreased visual acuity and, in some cases, even loss of vision. Therefore, if you have symptoms of fascial damage, you should consult an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment.

In general, the fascia of the eyeball is an important element of the structure of the eye, which is necessary for its normal functioning and protection.

The fascia of the eyeball (F. bulbi; synonym - tendon ligament of the eyeball or fascium) is a band of smooth muscle and connective tissue that surrounds the eyeball and surrounds it at the back. It begins at the upper edge of the pupil and goes down the posterior surface of the fundus to the optic disc. Laterally, it continues down from the eye to the parotid tissue and eventually reaches the medullary bones of the skull.

Fascia plays an important role in the stability and movement of the eyes and in the control of many functions of the eye, including focusing, vision, and tear secretion. However, this connection with the eye is manifested not only anatomically, but also at a functional level. Violation of the integrity of the fascia of the eyeball can lead to eye dysfunction and brain dysfunction, so timely diagnosis and
