The sclera (SLEER-uh) is the protective layer. This tough, fibrous tissue surrounds the eyeball and attaches to the cornea, which is the clear front surface of the eye.

Answer:
Sclera
Explanation:
- The Sclera is the white part of the eye that surrounds the cornea.
- In fact, the sclera forms more than 80 percent of the surface area of the eyeball, extending from the cornea all the way to the optic nerve, which exits the back of the eye.
- Only a small portion of the anterior sclera is visible.
