What Is The Cornea?

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. It functions to focus light on the retina so you can see clearly and it also protects the eye from dust and foreign substances.

The cornea is held in place by tiny muscles that attach to the sclera, the white part of your eye. Dry eye, keratoconus, and pterygium are examples of common corneal disorders.

Common Disorders
Keratoconus, Dry Eye & Pterygium

Keratoconus – Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition in which weakened collagen fibers within the cornea cause it to thin and protrude, resulting in blurry vision and partial blindness.

Dry eye – Dry eye affects patients who do not produce enough tears, or the tears produced are not of the correct consistency.

Pterygium – A pterygium is a type of noncancer (benign) growth on your eye. Pterygium can cause vision problems if it grows large enough to cover the pupil.
