Millions of people around the world suffer from partial or complete blindness when their corneas lose transparency. Treatment options involve corneal transplants and, more recently, stem cell therapy.

They said the cornea appears to resist infection from the novel coronavirus. It's not clear, however, if other tissue in and around the cornea, such as the tear ducts and the conjunctiva (loose ...

The conjunctiva around the previously marked area is excised using Wescott scissors, with careful attention so as to leave a 2-mm rim around the limbus to preserve limbal stem cells (Figure 5).

The researchers have yet to determine, however, whether other tissue in and around the cornea, such as the tear ducts and the conjunctiva, are vulnerable to the virus. The new findings are ...

The sclera wraps around most of the eyeball from the cornea to the back where the optic nerve connects the eye to the brain. The sclera is covered by conjunctiva, which is a thin layer of ...

His best corrected visual acuities were 20/30 OD and 20/25 OS. These acuities were repeatable and stable. Intraocular pressures were 20 mm Hg OD and 17 mm Hg OS via Tono-pen (Reichert, Depew, N.Y.).

The cornea’s job is to focus the light coming into your eye. The conjunctiva . The conjunctiva is a clear membrane that lines the inside of your eyelids and covers the whites of your eyes.

One method is conjunctival autograft, which uses a piece of conjunctiva tissue from behind the eyelid to patch the hole. This method still leaves a wound on the eye, but in a better protected area.
