Tarsal conjunctiva is firmly adherent to the whole tarsal plate in the upper lid. In the lower lid, it is adherent only to half width of the tarsus. Orbital part of palpebral conjunctiva lies loose between the tarsal plate and fornix. Bulbar conjunctiva Lies loose over the underlying structures and thus can be moved easily. It is separated from the anterior sclera by episcleral tissue and Tenon's capsule. A 3‐mm ridge of bulbar conjunctiva around the cornea is called limbal conjunctiva.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 39 Vasculature: upper lid supplied by the marginal and peripheral vascular arcades. The lower lid usually has only a peripheral arcade. The peripheral vascular arcade lies along the peripheral border of the tarsus between the lid retractors and Mu¨ller’s (inferior tarsal) muscle. The marginal arcade lies anterior to the tarsus 2 mm above the eyelid margin. In eyelid surgery, visualizing these horizontally running vessels indicates that you are below the level of the aponeurosis.
