In anatomy terms the difference between sclera and uvea
is that sclera is the white of the eye. It is the tough outer coat of the eye that covers the eyeball except for the cornea while uvea is the middle of the three concentric layers that make up the eye; it is pigmented and vascular, and comprises the choroid, the ciliary body, and the iris.
