The episclera is the outermost layer of the sclera (the white of the eye).[1] It is composed of loose, fibrous, elastic tissue and attaches to Tenon's capsule.[1]

A vascular plexus is found between the bulbar conjunctiva and the sclera consisting of two layers of vessels, the superficial episcleral vessels and the deep episcleral vessels.
