Structurally and embryologically the cornea is a con-tinuation of the three adjoining tissues, viz., the conjunctiva, thesclera, and the uveal tract, (iris, ciliary body, and chorioid). Theconjunctiva being continuous with the anterior epithe-lium; the sclera with Bowmans membrane and the cornealstroma; the uveal tract with Descemets membrane and the pos-terior endothelium.
