Figure 8

Schematic showing possible integration of the corneal, c, and limbal, l, collagen fibrils in the right human eye, based on the current x-ray data (superonasal quadrant shown). Centrally orthogonal fibrils change direction in the peripheral cornea to fuse with the tangential fibrils of the highly reinforced limbal annulus. Chords of larger anchoring fibrils, originating in the sclera, s, cross the oblique peripheral cornea.
