Whorl-Like Collagen Fiber Arrangement Around Emissary Canals in the Posterior Sclera
The collagen fibers are arranged as whorl-like structures around the vessel emissary canals in the posterior sclera, which is a knowledge gap for basic scleral histology. Additionally, this study demonstrated a strong correlation between PS-OCT findings and microscopic histology, underscoring PS-OCT's utility in detecting scleral collagen fiber arrangements.
