The microcirculatory bed of various parts of the human bulbar conjunctiva in ontogenesis has been studied in 63 preparations of the eyeball by means of complex morphological methods. Structural peculiarities and functions of all parts of the micro-vessels have been revealed in fetuses, their conjunctiva being not yet subjected to any environmental effect, and in successive age groups of the postnatal development. The period of stabilization and differentiation for all parts of the microcirculatory bed in the eyeball conjunctiva has been stated. Certain age changes of the microcirculatory bed have been revealed in all sectors and in various parts within the sectors; these changes should be taken into account at biomicroscopy and when analysing the data obtained.
