Ocular Surface Epithelium

Molecular classification
Epithelial Tissue, Stratified Squamous Epithelium
01

Overview

The ocular surface epithelium comprises the corneal and conjunctival epithelia, serving as a protective barrier for the eye. It maintains optical clarity, interacts with the tear film, and regenerates via limbal stem cells. Dysfunction leads to various ocular surface diseases.
