English: The front visible part or the anterior segment of the eye is made up of the whitish sclera, a coloured iris, and the pupil. A thin layer called the conjunctiva sits on top of it.

The plica semilunaris is a small fold of bulbar conjunctiva on the medial canthus of the eye. It helps ensure tear drainage and flushing of debris

The lacrimal caruncle, or caruncula lacrimalis, is the small, pink, flesh-like structure at the inner corner of the eye. It contains both oil and sweat glands. The whitish material that sometimes accumulates in that region is from these glands. The tarsal plate is composed of connective tissue that gives support to the eyelids.
