👉 The term "limbal" is a medical term that describes the tissue that lines the opening of the eye, which is known as the lacrimal gland. The lacrimal gland produces tears (mucus) to lubricate and protect the eyes from water loss. It's important to note that the limbal tissue is not a part of the eye itself but rather an organ located in the lacrimal gland that helps regulate the amount of tears produced by the glands.
