Anterior most transparent layer of the eye is called cornea. It is an extremely useful layer for refraction and protection of the eye.
Any trauma, foreign body or chemical etc can invade the integrity of this layer and can be invaded by bacteria, fungus or virus, resulting in the corneal ulcer. Sometimes, due to hypoxia induced by contact lenses too can result in a corneal ulcer.

The cornea is the transparent layer of the eye that acts as a protective shield. The cornea, in combination with the sclera, protects the eyes from various harmful microorganisms and particulate matter, including the harmful UV radiations (to some extent). The cornea is made up of three important layers, the Endothelium, Stroma, and the Epithelium.
Endothelium: The inner layer of the cornea, the endothelium helps to maintain a clear vision by removing the excess fluid absorbed by the st...more

During this condition, the front portion of the eye known as the cornea becomes thin and gradually get weaker over a period of time. This makes it bulge into a cone shape, which could make one's vision totally distorted and make it very hard to see. During corneal cross-linking, doctors or ophthalmologists use special eye drops along with ultraviolet light to make the tissues lying in the cornea stronger. This p...more

The cornea is the front layer of eyes that helps in focusing light to see objects clearly. In a cornea transplant surgery, the damaged cornea tissue is replaced by healthy donor tissue. In medical terms, it is known as keratoplasty for a corneal graft. The cornea needs to be clear, smooth, and healthy for a good vision. An unhealthy cornea leads to blurry vision.
Before transplanting cornea, doctors also try to treat the problem with other methods. However, if the condition is not gett...more

Keratoconus is a progressive vision disorder which occurs when the normally round cornea becomes thin and cone-shaped, and bulges out, deflecting the light entering the eye leading to a distorted and blurry vision.
Causes of Keratoconus
Weakening of the collagenous fibre, which holds the cornea in its regular place, leads to its bulging out. Decreased levels of antioxidants in the cornea too cause the condition by damaging the fibre from external pollutants. It is also seen running ...more

Corneal cross-linking, abbreviated as CXL, is a type outpatient surgery. This process is minimally invasive, performed for the treatment of progressive keratoconus or other similar conditions which make cornea weak. The CXL strengthens cornea and stabilizes it by linking the collagen fibers present in the cornea.
In this procedure, first of all, the outermost layer of epithelial tissue on the cornea is removed. It is followed by enrichment with riboflavin and collagen, which are activat...more
