Important functions of cornea in the eye include protecting the structures inside the eye,
contributing to the refractive power of the eye, and focusing light rays on the retina with …

The corneal stroma plays several pivotal roles within the eye. Optically, it is the main
refracting lens and thus has to combine almost perfect transmission of visible light with …

In the past decade, novel lamellar keratoplasty techniques such as Deep Anterior Lamellar
Keratoplasty (DALK) for anterior keratoplasty and Descemet stripping automated endothelial …

Epithelial surfaces protect exposed tissues in the body against intrusion of foreign materials,
