Tenon's capsule

The conjunctiva and Tenon's capsule are then closed together.

Tenon's capsule may be opened posteriorly to allow visualization of the optic nerve.

Tenon's capsule and conjunctiva (the mucous membrane covering the natural sclera).

It is composed of loose, fibrous, elastic tissue and attaches to Tenon's capsule.

First, the conjunctiva and Tenon's capsule are incised about 6 mm from the corneal limbus.

The extraocular muscles develop along with Tenon's capsule (part of the ligaments) and the fatty tissue of the eye socket (orbit).

Local anaesthetic may be instilled into the space between Tenon's capsule and the sclera to provide anaesthesia for eye surgery, principally cataract surgery.

This structure is the thickened area of contact between Tenon's capsule and the sheaths of the inferior rectus and inferior oblique muscles.

This led to the development of quasi-integrated implants with a specially designed anterior surface that allegedly better transferred implant motility to the artificial eye through the closed conjunctiva and Tenon's capsule.

This outpatient procedure was most commonly performed under monitored anesthesia care using a retrobulbar block or peribulbar block or a combination of topical and subtenon (Tenon's capsule) anesthesia.

Tenon's capsule may be affected by a disease called idiopathic orbital inflammation, a condition of unknown etiology that is characterized by inflammation of one or more layers of the eye.

However, because the so-called ball and socket are separated by layers of Tenon's capsule, imbricated muscles, and conjunctiva, the mechanical efficiency of transmission of movement from the implant to the prosthesis is suboptimal.

Most conjunctivochalasis is thought to be caused by both a gradual thinning and stretching of the conjunctiva that accompanies age and a loss of adhesion between the conjunctiva and underlying sclera related from the dissolution of Tenon's capsule.
