The sclera is the part of the eye commonly known as the âwhite.â It forms the supporting wall of the eyeball, and is continuous with the clear cornea. The sclera is covered by the conjunctiva, a clear mucus membrane that helps lubricate the eye. It is thickest in the area surrounding the optic nerve.
The sclera is the posterior, opaque part of the external tunic. Its anterior part can be seen through the conjunctiva as the white of the eye. The sclera consists of fibrous tissue, and it receives the tendons of the muscles of the eyeball.
