Cornea and External Diseases
The cornea is the transparent tissue that covers the front of the eye. It helps to control focusing. Corneal diseases involve the cornea, anterior chamber of the eye, iris, lens, conjunctiva and eyelids. Corneal tissue consists of five basic layers: epithelium, Bowman’s layer, stroma, Descemet’s membrane and endothelium. The cornea contains no blood vessels to nourish or protect it against infection. The cornea receives its nourishment from the tears and aqueous humor that fill the chamber behind it.
- Chemical and thermal injuries
- Pathological diseases such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and pemphigoid
- Chronic infections or inflammations
- New tissue growths such as pterygium and tumors
- Neurotrophic conditions (due to damage to the eye’s sensory nerves)
- Cataracts
- Refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism)
- Conjunctivitis
- Keratoconus; Pterygium; Endophthalmitis; Fuch’s Dystrophy
- Corneal allergies
- Infections and Irregularities
