The episclera is a thin layer of connective tissue that lies on top of the sclera (the white of the eye). It contains many small blood vessels that can become visible when the eye is irritated or inflamed. Clinicians use the term episclera when describing red-eye causes, eye pressure physiology, and surgical tissue planes. It is commonly discussed in conditions like episcleritis and in glaucoma-related anatomy.
