Episclera
Episclera eller episklera (latin: «lamina episcleralis») er det ytterste laget i øyets senehinne (sclera).[1] Det er sammensatt av løst, fibrøst og elastisk bindevev og har fester i Tenons kapsel.[1]
Det ligger et vaskulært pleksus mellom konjunktiva og sklera, som er sammensatt av to lag med blodårer, de øvre vannvenene og de dype episklerale venene.
Klinisk betydning
Ved episkleritt har episclera og Tenons kapsel blitt infiltrert av inflammatoriske celler.[2]
