The cornea, the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye, plays a crucial role in focusing vision. Any damage to this delicate structure can lead to serious consequences, including impaired vision, discomfort, and, in severe cases, blindness.
UNDERSTANDING CORNEAL DAMAGE
The cornea is composed of five layers: the epithelium, Bowman's layer, stroma, Descemet's membrane, and endothelium. Each layer serves a specific function, from protecting against infections to maintaining the cornea's transparency and shape. Damage to any of these layers can disrupt the cornea's integrity and lead to vision problems.
COMMON CAUSES OF CORNEAL DAMAGE
Infections: Bacterial, viral, and fungal infections can cause corneal ulcers, leading to scarring and vision loss if not treated promptly. Common pathogens include herpes simplex virus, Acanthamoeba, and fungi.
Injuries: Physical trauma, such as scratches, cuts, or foreign objects in the eye, can damage the cornea. Even minor injuries, like rubbing your eyes vigorously or getting sand in them, can cause significant harm.
