Corneal Disorders
The cornea is a vital part of the eye—a clear, dome-shaped surface that allows light to enter and focus properly. Any damage or disease affecting the cornea can significantly impact vision and overall eye health. At the SRF Eye Hospital, we provide the best corneal treatments, including corneal transplantation and specialised care for keratoconus.
Cornea Structure & Function
Epithelium
The outermost layer, which protects against dust, debris, and bacteria while absorbing nutrients from tears.
Bowman’s Layer
A strong, protective layer made of collagen fibres.
Stroma
The middle layer, accounting for 90% of the cornea’s thickness, is composed of collagen fibrils that contribute to transparency.
Descemet’s Membrane
A thin but strong layer that protects against infection and injury.
Endothelium
The innermost layer, which maintains fluid balance within the cornea.
