pars plana
Eye's quiet zone
Pars plana is a flat, ring-shaped region of the eye between the iris and the retina, part of the ciliary body.
In ophthalmology, it serves as a surgical entry point for procedures inside the eye because it lacks critical structures that could be damaged: pars plana vitrectomy, pars plana lensectomy.
