A scleral lens is a prototypical lens dating back to the early 1880s. Originally these lenses were designed by using a substance to take a mold of the eye. Lenses would then be shaped to conform to the mould, initially using blown glass and then ground glass in the 1920s and polymethyl methacrylate in the 1940s. [ 7 ]
A hollow structure, the bulbus oculi is composed of a wall enclosing a cavity filled with fluid with three coats: the sclera, choroid, and the retina. [2] Normally, the bulbus oculi is bulb-like structure. [3] However, the bulbus oculi is not completely spherical.

Non-transparent background. Cleared lens. 06:20, 12 April 2016: 416 × 423 (433 KB) Jmarchn: Full redraw: Group labels in accordance with the "Foundational Model Explorer." Added "Macula" and "Uvea" and removed "Zonular fibres." It has given better visibility inside the eye. The eyeball shape and size of different parts of the eye are now real...
Sclera; 12. Conjunctiva, 13. Uvea with 14. Iris, 15. Ciliary body. The anterior segment or anterior cavity [1] is the front third of the eye that includes the structures in front of the vitreous humour: the cornea, iris, ciliary body, and lens. [2] [3] Within the anterior segment are two fluid-filled spaces:
The visual system is the physiological basis of visual perception (the ability to detect and process light).The system detects, transduces and interprets information concerning light within the visible range to construct an image and build a mental model of the surrounding environment.
A corrective lens is a lens worn in front of the eye, mainly used to treat myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. The goal is to bring vision up to 20/20 vision or as close to this as possible. Glasses or "spectacles" are corrective lenses worn on the face a short distance in front of the eye.
The sclera and cornea form the fibrous tunic of the bulb of the eye; the sclera is opaque, and constitutes the posterior five-sixths of the tunic; the cornea is transparent, and forms the anterior sixth. The term "corneosclera" is also used to describe the sclera and cornea together. [1]
