What are special properties of transparency factors in corneal hydration of cornea?
The factors affecting the transparency include special properties of the corneal epithelium and tear film, anatomical arrangement of stromal lamellae of the corne corneal avascularity, and an immaculate balance of the corneal hydration.
Corneal Epithelium and Tear Film: Normally the epithelium is transparent because of homogeneity of its refractive index. Other the11 this, tile precorneal tear film plays a11 important role in transparency of cornea.
Arrangement of Stromal Lamellae: The stromal lamellae of cornea is anatomically arranged in such a way that when light passes through, it do not get distorted in any way. Thus, stroma is responsible for corneal transparency. Thus are two main theories to explain the mechanism of corneal transparency.
