Venae episclerales are a network of tiny veins located on the outer surface of the sclera, the white part of the eye. These veins are also known as episcleral veins or the superficial episcleral venous plexus. Other synonyms for these veins include conjunctival veins and subepiscleral veins. They drain blood from the eye and the surrounding region and eventually empty into the larger vessels of the orbit. The anatomy of the venae episclerales is important in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to blood flow in the eye, such as glaucoma. Understanding these synonyms for venae episclerales is crucial for clinicians and researchers working in ophthalmology and related fields.
