A hard, resisting, opake membrane, of a pearly white colour and fibrous nature, which covers nearly the posterior four-fifths of the globe of the eye, and has the form of a sphere truncated before. It is strengthened by the expansion of the muscles of the eye, to which expansion many anatomists have given the name Tu'nica albugin'ea. It forms the white of the eye, Albu'men seu Album ac'uli, Lan'chades, Log'ades, Loch'ades, Leu'cades. The sclerotic is penetrated posteriorly by a round opening, for the passage of the optic nerve; and, anteriorly, it has a much larger opening, into which the transparent cornea is received. There are, besides, many small oblong apertures in it for the passage of nerves and vessels, proceeding to the interior of the eye. Its inner surface is of a light brown colour, owing to a delicate areolar tissue containing brown pigment cells; and hence called Membra'na seu Lam'ina fusca. In the foetus, the sclerotic may be separated into two very distinct laminae.
