Primary Functions of Cornea:
• It covers and protects the pupil, the iris, the anterior chamber and other 
interior parts of the eye
• It refracts and focuses most of the light that enters the eye onto the 
retina, contributing to two-thrid of the refractive power of the eye.
It is a transparent avascular tissue layer, i.e. it doesn’t contain any blood 
vessels for nutrition. It receives all its nutrients from the tears, external air 
and the aqueous humour within the eye.
The Most Common Corneal Disorders?
• Cornea Clouding (Corneal Opacity):
                     When the corneal surface gets scared or degraded, its damaged surface fails to refract the incident 
light accurately onto the retina. This condition turns the otherwise clear cornea appear white and make your 
vision cloudy.
• Keratoconus:
                 Keratoconus (KEHR-a-toh-kohn-nus) is a non-inflammatory eye condition in which the usually round, dome-
shaped cornea thins and protrudes in a cone-like bulge, resulting in significant visual distortion.   
• Corneal Edema:
                       The endothelium layer of the cornea is responsible for pumping back any fluid that flows through 
the eye. As these endothelial cells cannot regenerate, when they get damaged, fluids start to accumulate near 
the cornea causing it to swell. This swelling and clouding state of the cornea is known as Corneal Edema.
The Treatments for Corneal Problem
• Cornea Transplant:
              Keratoplasty or cornea transplant surgery is warranted when the cornea becomes 
dangerously thin or when one can no longer use contact lenses due to the steepness of the 
cornea.
• DSAEK:
             The DSAEK cornea transplant can effectively help restore vision.
• DALK:
             Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty, or DALK, is a partial thickness graft that keeps the 
endothelium and Descemet’s membrane, the two innermost layers of the cornea, intact.
