  2. What Is Cornea? The corneal is the most vital part of the eye as it performs the two primary functions: • 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.

  3. What Are The Most Common Corneal Disorders? Following are some of the commonly occurring conditions that damage the corneal surface: • Cornea Clouding (Corneal Opacity): Corneal opacity is usually caused due to one or a combination of the following factors: • Vitamin A deficiency • Wearing contact lenses for an extended period • Injuries or contact with foreign bodies • Corneal scars caused by infectious agents such as bacteria or herpes simplex virus • Keratoconus, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, conjunctivitis, and other eye conditions • Congenital corneal abnormalities

  4. Keratoconus: Some commonly observed causes of keratoconus development include: • Genetic predisposition, causing oxidative damage • Overexposure to ultraviolet rays • Excessive eye rubbing  • Chronic eye irritation • Wearing poorly fitting contact lenses • 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. Use of certain drugs such as chlorhexidine, amantadine and the ones that contain benzalkonium chloride can also increase the risk of developing corneal oedema.

  5. What are the Treatments For Corneal Problems? • 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: DSAEK is a new technique of cornea transplant with a shorter recovery time and better vision after surgery. In this procedure, the surgeon removes the endothelium, the innermost layer of the cornea, along with Descemet’s membrane and replaces it with a delicate, healthy layer of cornea tissue from the donor.  • 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. Retaining the host’s endothelium layer is the aim of the procedure. This layer keeps the cornea clear by drawing fluid away from the most cornea.
