Anatomy
Ocular Surface (Eye Surface / Anterior Eye)
The ocular surface is the outermost part of your eye that you can see—it includes the cornea, conjunctiva (white part), and eyelids. This surface is incredibly sensitive and protected by your tear film. Keeping your ocular surface healthy prevents many eye problems.
