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.

- Cataracts
- Refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism)
- Conjunctivitis
