fascia bulbi

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
fascia bulbi.
Tenon's capsule
The fibrous membrane that envelops the globe from the margin of the cornea to the optic nerve. Its inner surface is in close contact with the episclera to which it is connected by fine trabeculae. These trabeculae also attach it to the extraocular muscles. The posterior surface of the capsule is in contact with the orbital fat. Anteriorly, it becomes thinner and merges gradually into the subconjunctival connective tissue. Syn. Bonnet's capsule; capsule of the eyeball; fascia bulbi. See sub-Tenon's injection; ligament of Lockwood.
