What does the palpebral conjunctiva refer to?

The palpebral conjunctiva refers specifically to the inside lining of the eyelid. It is a thin, transparent mucous membrane that covers the inner surface of the eyelids and is continuous with the bulbar conjunctiva, which covers the anterior part of the eye, excluding the cornea. This specialized tissue serves several important functions, such as providing lubrication to the eye, protecting the eye from foreign materials, and contributing to the immune defense of the ocular surface. Understanding the anatomy and function of the conjunctiva is essential for professionals in the field of eyelash extensions, as it helps ensure safety and hygiene while performing procedures around the eye area.
