Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2018, Vol 74, Issue 3
Abstract
The ocular surface consists of the cornea, limbus and conjunctiva with mucosa of the ocular adnexa (lacrimal gland and lacrimal drainage apparatus). The epitheliumof the cornea and conjunctiva is formed from differential of the surface ectoderm during embryonic development. Corneal epithelium is of stratified squamous type and becomes continuous with epithelium of the bulbar conjunctiva at the limbus which is also squamous type of epithelium. Squamous cells are basically superficial cells with flattened nuclei which periodically slough off into the tear film.
