The cornea has no definite Bowman's membrane, although a thin cell-free zone of strama is found beneath the epithelium. The sclera is thicker at the equator in the temporal and superior quadrants where the ora serrata is on the equator. The long posterior ciliary arteries and nerves have a long intrascleral course before they enter the parichoroidal space to supply the ciliary body and iris. Posterior to the corneoscleral junction, large irregular anastomosing venous sinuses drain the anterior chamber through afferent collector channels that border the trabecular mesh. Spiral nerve endings are found in the mesh of the ciliary cleft.
