Eye and Vision

Cornea and its disorders

The Cornea is the straightforward front piece of the eye that covers the iris, student, and foremost chamber. The cornea, with the front chamber and focal point, refracts light, with the cornea representing roughly 66% of the eye's aggregate optical power. In people, the refractive energy of the cornea is around 43 dioptres. But factors such as corneal ulceration, Epithelial keratitis & drug-induced epithelial keratitis, corneal regeneration, recurrent corneal erosion and miscellaneous corneal disorders can affect the cornea and ultimately lead to the external eye disease that could end up with permanent blindness. Hence investigation of corneal disease is carry out to mitigate the disease and methods like Contact lenses & vision correction is also used to cure the vision related problems and surgical procedure like corneal transplantation is used to transplant the cornea.
