(subconjunctival hemorrhage)

use for landmark in surgical plain and lacal drug injection

may be accumulated by fluid ( effusion) or blood

epithelium of cornea
1. stratified, non-keratinized, nonsecretory epithelium
2. 5-7 cell thick ( 50 -100 micron)
3. innermost cell are basal cell with
mitosis activity
4. turnover time = 7 days
Bowmans layer
Bowmans layer is not the true
membrane but condensation of corneal
stroma.
Any lesion in or deeper than this layer
heal with scar
Unmyelinated axon penetrate this layer
across the corneal surface to provide
layer
epithelial bowmans
innervation.
Corneal stroma
dense connective tissue
2 micron thick, flattened,
collagen lamella (200-250 layer)
no blood and lymphatic vessel
but sensory nerve fiber
transparency is highly dependent
on the regularity of collagen
fiber
Descemets membrane
true membrane ( modified
basement membrane)
8-12 micron in thickness
may be detached and tends to
inwards towards A/C
Descemets membra
Corneal endothelium
single squamous epithelium on the
posterior cornea
pumping mechanism to maintain corneal
hydration and transparency
low regenerative activity
350000 cells/cornea (3-4000 at birth,
2500 in middle age, 2000 in old age)
density below 800 cells/mm2 lead to
corneal edema (corneal decompensate)
corneal transplantation
Cornea was the first successfully
transplanted solid tissue.
Corneas were rejected less frequently than
other transplanted tissue. (80-90% success
rate)
No need for HLA typing
relative isolation from blood/lymphatic
channel
Eye Banking
Tissue removal
consent and medical record review
application of ice pack on the closed lids

Systemic condition
1. Healing difficulty
Malnourished, DM,
2. Highly susceptibility to infection
