The limbus is the narrow border zone where the clear cornea meets the white sclera. It is a key landmark on the front of the eye used in eye exams, contact lens fitting, and eye surgery. It also contains specialized cells that help maintain the corneal surface. Clinicians use the limbus to describe locations, measure changes, and plan treatments.
