[Histological aspects of the sclerocorneal transitional area]

The paper presents a histological survey on the corneoscleral limbus. The corneal epithelium from this level deeply one of its branches, which represents a strong way of anchoring it with the subjacent conjunctival structure. It may be noticed at this level a gradual crossing from the cornea to the sclera. The study emphasizes the great importance of this area from physiological, surgical and pathological point of view.
