Introduction
Anatomy of the Cornea
The cornea consists of five main layers: epithelium, Bowman’s layer, stroma, Descemet’s membrane, and endothelium. Each layer has a specific role in maintaining corneal structure and transparency.
Function of the Retina
The cornea protects the internal structures of the eye and provides most of the eye’s refractive power. Its smooth and transparent surface allows light to enter and focus properly.
Corneal Health and Disorders
Common corneal conditions include keratitis, corneal ulcer, corneal abrasion, keratoconus, and corneal edema. Recognizing their signs and symptoms is important during clinical examination.
Corneal Examination
Optometrists assess the cornea using techniques and instruments such as slit-lamp examination, fluorescein staining, keratometry, and corneal topography to evaluate its structure, curvature, and health.
