Definition
A thin membrane of tissue that covers the white part of the eye, lying between the conjunctiva and the sclera.
Etymology
From Greek epi- (upon) + sclera (hard part of the eye). The term literally means 'upon the sclera,' describing its anatomical position.
Kelly Says
The episclera is so thin and delicate that eye doctors often have to use special techniques to see it, but inflammation there can cause surprising pain because it's packed with sensitive nerve endings.
