Schwalbe Rear Border Ring

Schwalbe's posterior border ring is an anatomical formation that is located on the posterior border of the sclera of the eye. It was discovered and described by the German anatomist Georg August Schwalbe in 1886.

Schwalbe's posterior limiting ring is a thin strip of tissue that is located on the posterior surface of the sclera. It consists of collagen, elastin and other proteins that provide strength and elasticity to the tissue.

This ring plays an important role in maintaining the shape and structure of the eye. It provides support and stabilization to the lens and cornea and protects them from damage and injury. In addition, it is involved in the regulation of intraocular pressure.

However, in some diseases, such as glaucoma, the Schwalbe ring may be damaged or destroyed. This can lead to decreased vision and other complications. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of this ring and consult a doctor if any symptoms associated with its damage.



"Schwalbe's Posterior Bordering Ring" is a medical term used to describe the structure that lies at the posterior border of the middle layer of the retina. This ring is a rather unusual formation and has many functions. In appearance, it resembles more of a vestigial bone than an organ. However, it is not so easy to find the external expression of such an organ. It has a white or yellowish structure, comparable in shape to human fingers, namely the middle and index fingers. This organ is located in the middle between the different layers of the retina and can reach quite large sizes - up to 5 millimeters. Despite the fact that Schwalbe
