The typical healthy POV found in most young adults in this study. A, The detained anatomic structure of the cornea-sclera junction (modified from [38,39]). B, Typical pattern of POV was defined as having the easily identified sharp tapering tip of subepithelial stroma pointing to the corneal-limbal junction with the maximum ET of POV at least ×1.5 thicker than the central CET. C, To highlight the subepithelial stroma at POV, contrast was increased at Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Adobe System Inc) on the OCT images. The white arrows indicate the sharp tapering tip of subepithelial stroma pointing to the corneal-limbal junction as in (B). CjE = the conjunctival epithelium, CjS = the conjunctival stroma, CnE = corneal epithelium layer, CnS = the corneal stroma, ES = the episclera, LS = the limbal stroma, POV = the epithelium of POV, Ves = the limbal vessels.
