Relating to both the ciliary body of the eye and the sclera (the white outer layer of the eye).
From 'ciliary' (relating to the cilium) and 'scleral' (relating to the sclera). This anatomical term emerged in ophthalmology to describe structures at the junction of the ciliary body and sclera.
The cilioscleral junction is where your eye's autofocus muscle meets the tough outer shell—it's a borderland of eye anatomy that surgeons study carefully when treating glaucoma and other diseases.
