What Is Cornea ?

The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped outer layer that covers the front of your eye. It acts like the eye’s protective window and plays a vital role in focusing light onto the retina, helping you see clearly. Made up of five delicate layers, the cornea is crystal clear and has no blood vessels — which allows light to pass through smoothly. Instead, it gets nourishment from tears and the fluid inside the eye. Damage or disease affecting the cornea — like infections, injuries, or conditions such as keratoconus — can cause blurred vision, pain, or even vision loss if not treated. At Divyadrashti Eye Clinic, we specialize in advanced diagnostics and treatments to protect and restore your corneal health — because clear vision begins with a healthy cornea.
