The slide outlines key external eye structures: the sclera as the white protective outer layer, the cornea as the clear dome-shaped anterior surface, eyelids and lashes that shield and filter debris, the conjunctiva as a thin protective mucous membrane, and tear glands that provide lubrication and cleaning. These components collectively protect, lubricate, and maintain the eye's surface.
