Scientists have discovered a previously undetected layer in the cornea, the clear window at the front of the human eye. The breakthrough could help surgeons to dramatically improve outcomes for ...

Dua and colleagues, for example, believe that a tear in the Dua layer is what causes corneal hydrops, which occurs when water from inside the eye rushes in and leads to a fluid buildup in the cornea.

The new layer has been dubbed the Dua's Layer after the academic Professor Harminder Dua who discovered it. Professor Dua, Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, said: "This is a major ...

Dua and his team published their findings in the journal Ophthalmology. Previously, the human cornea, which is approximately 550 microns thick, was thought to be comprised of five layers: from front ...

Dua, MD, PhD, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Nottingham, discusses the implications of Dua’s layer in corneal pathology. The pre-Descemet’s layer, ...

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown layer lurking in the human eye. The newfound body part, dubbed Dua's layer, is a skinny but tough structure measuring just 15 microns thick, where ...

Nagpur: The discovery of ‘Descemet’s layer’ in the cornea of human eye by Dr Harminder S Dua, chair and professor of Ophthalmology, University of Nott.

Professor Harminder Dua has published a study in the journal Ophthalmology that found a new layer in the human cornea. The research involved examining donated eyes and disecting the corneas. Prof ...

Dua said in a release that the discovery "will mean that ophthalmology textbooks will literally need to be re-written." The new layer is just 15 microns thick, while the entire cornea is around ...
