The globe of the eye, or bulbus oculi, is the eyeball apart from its appendages^[1]. A hollow structure, the bulbus oculi is composed of a wall enclosing a cavity filled with fluid with three coat: the Sclera, Choroid, and the Retina.^[2] Normally, the bulbus oculi is bulb-like structure.^[3] However, the bulbus oculi is not completely Its anterior surface, transparent and more curved, is known as the cornea of the bulbus oculi.
