"The Tenon capsule, also known as fascia bulbi or bulbar sheath, functions as an extraocular muscle pulley. It also provides a socket which separates the globe from the surrounding fat and allows free movement. It merges posteriorly with the dural sheath of the optic nerve and extends anteriorly to the limbus. There is a potential space between the Tenon capsule and sclera called the "sub-Tenon space," "episcleral space," or "peri-scleral lymph space," which is used in anaesthetising the globe."
