It is composed of older, fully denucleated lens fibre cells whose lamellae remain largely intact but which are more compacted than those of the outer cortex. Equivalent to the 'deep cortex of lens' (cortex profundus) in FMA. The boundary with the lens nucleus is a continuous gradient of fibre-cell age and compaction but is reliably visible as an optical discontinuity on Scheimpflug/slit-lamp imaging. outer cortex of lens
