Anatomy of the Limbus (complete lecture) – Surgical Limbus, Incision site, Limbal Stem cells |

This video explains the anatomy of the limbus/corneoscleral junction from all perspectives- Histological, Anatomical & Surgical. It also explains the blue-grey zone & its significance while performing cataract surgeries, particularly during incision construction.
The diagrams shown in this video have been made as representative diagrams for the sole purpose of simplifying the topic. They should not be reproduced in either theory or viva exams.

This video also discusses limbal stem cells in detail – including palisades of Vogt & XYZ hypothesis. The understanding of limbal stem cell anatomy is important in order to understand various limbal stem cell diseases.

We also discuss a bit on the limbal vasculature.

I hope that medical undergraduate students, ophthalmology residents, nursing students, optometrists & practising ophthalmologists will find this video useful.
