Intrascleral plexus

Network of blood vessels within the sclera of the eye

The intrascleral plexus is the network of blood vessels within the substance of the sclera. Blood enters from the small connecting channels from Schlemm's canal; it exits through superficial vessels, then passing it on to the anterior ciliary veins.
