The low angle equatorial diffraction pattern from the human corneal stroma shows that the collagen fibrils have two preferred orientations: inferior-superior and medial-lateral. We have not observed this effect in any other animal species. This arrangement, which was found to be more pronounced in the posterior than in the anterior stroma, was maintained until the last 1 to 2 millimetres before the limbus at which point uniaxial orientation was observed along the circumference. Our interpretation of this result is that most collagen fibrils wrap around the circumference of the cornea and relatively few continue radially into the limbus where uniformity of collagen fibril diameters is lost.
