The Cornea: Structure, Macromolecules, and Its Role in Health and Disease

Image
  The cornea is the clear, rounded  tissue at the front of the eye. It serves as the eye's primary lens, responsible for bending light and directing it toward the retina. In addition to its critical role in vision, the cornea is made up of several layers, each with a unique structure and function that are vital for maintaining eye health. Understanding the structure and the macromolecules within the cornea can help us comprehend its role in both health and disease. There are several eye care hospitals  who can treat Cornea, Glaucoma, Retina, Refractive error, Cataract for your eye care. Susrut , Pushpanjali Eye Care Hospital , Disha Eye Foundation.Dr . Prashant Srivastava Senior Consultant Specializing in Glaucoma, Cataract, LASIK, and Refractive Eye Surgery has a doctor’s team that can help with cornea treatment.  Pushpanjali Eye Care Hospital is one of the best eye hospital in kolkata . The Structure of the Cornea The cornea consists of five main layers: Epitheliu...

Biomechanical Diagnostics of the Cornea

Image
  The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped which is situated in front of the eye. It plays a crucial role in focusing light and protecting the eye from external threats. The health of the cornea is essential for good vision, and any abnormalities in its structure or function can lead to serious eye conditions. One of the most important advancements in modern ophthalmology is biomechanical diagnostics, which allows doctors to assess the physical properties of the cornea more accurately than ever before. Cornea is the main part of the eye so we need to treat or diagnose properly to avoid future complications. What is Biomechanics in the Cornea? Biomechanics refers to the study of the mechanical properties of biological tissues. When it comes to the cornea, biomechanics involves understanding how the cornea deforms (bends or stretches) under pressure. By studying these properties, doctors can gain insight into the health of the cornea and detect potential issues before they cause no...
