The Bowman’s membrane (Bowman’s layer anterior limiting lamina anterior elastic lamina) is a smooth acellular nonregenerating layer located between the superficial epithelium and the stroma in the cornea of the eye. It is composed of strong randomly oriented collagen fibrils in which the smooth anterior surface faces the epithelial basement membrane and the posterior surface merges with the collagen lamellae of the corneal stroma proper.
