Cornea disease
Cornea disease
If we see our eyes as a camera, the cornea would be the glass at the front of the camera lens. , the cornea serves as a barrier against dirt, germs, and other particles that can harm the eye’s delicate components. The cornea is also capable of filtering out some amounts of the sun’s ultraviolet light. The cornea also plays a key role in vision. As light enters the eye, it is refracted, or bent, by the outside shape of the cornea. The curvature of this outer layer helps determine how well your eye can focus on objects close up and far away. If the cornea becomes damaged through disease, infection, or injury, the resulting scars or discoloration can interfere with vision by blocking or distorting light as it enters the eye.
Corneal disease is a serious condition that can cause clouding, distortion, scarring and if not treated timely, it can cause blindness. If you are experiencing Pain, Blurred Vision, Tearing, Redness, Extreme Light Sensitivity or Corneal Scarring, you should consult an experienced eye doctor immediately.
