0 the transparent layer of mucous membrane that covers the inside of the eyelid and the front surface of the eyeball --
Also, the author, who had the procedure performed on himself, seems to have some blisters between the sclera and conjunctiva.
It is an essential function of the eye that helps spread tears across and remove irritants from the surface of the cornea and conjunctiva.
It is hypothesized that the physico-chemical milieu of the conjunctiva and cornea helped to adapt the originally ' poikilothermic microsporidian ' to the conditions within the homoiothermic organism.
Three sutures were made through the conjunctiva at 120-deg angles in each eye.
The conjunctiva was incised along the horizontal meridian at the temporal or nasal side of the eye; the sclera was cut and the choroid identified.
The fascia and muscles on the eye itself were also removed and the eye was attached to an eye ring by the conjunctiva for stabilization.
Postoperatively, chloromycetin ophthalmic ointment (1%) was applied to the conjunctiva as prophylaxis.
The eye was mounted on a stainlesssteel eye ring by attaching the conjunctiva.
