The cornea is your eye’s clear, protective outer layer and serves as a barrier against dirt, germs, and other things that can cause damage. As light enters your eye, it gets refracted, or bent, by the curved edge of your cornea. This helps determine how well your eye can focus on objects close-up and far away.
The three major corneal layers are:
The curvature of the cornea plays an important role in focusing (refracting or bending) light. The normal cornea is smooth, clear, and tough and helps protect the eye from infection and foreign material.
Dry eye is common and can result in cornea damage from painful erosions of the corneal surface. Aside from lubricating the eyes with artificial tears, addressing the underlying cause is important. For some patients, dryness is caused by lack of tear production, and anti-inflammatory drops such as cyclosporin (Restasis) or steroids may help.
In other cases, the dryness is due to evaporation of the tears between blinks. This occurs when the eyelids' oil glands (meibomian glands) are not functioning well. Normally, the oil from these glands coats the eye's surface and prevents tear evaporation. The oil glands' function can be improved with a combination of warm compresses, lid hygiene (for example, dilute baby shampoo lid scrubs), increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids, and in some patients, oral medication.
Medications can affect your cornea:
