Cornea 2 Anatomy of cornea •Transparent optical part of the eyeball - impermeable barrier •Refractive medium (43 D) •Diameter 11.5 mm x 12.6 mm •Central thickness of 560 micron peripheral thickness of 600 - 1000μm endothelial cell density (2600 / mm²) water content 76-80% Anatomy of cornea •Epithelium – squamous, nonkeratinized (4-6 layers), ability of regeneration (A) •Bowman's membrane - (8-12μm) - acellular, separates the epithelium and stroma, without regeneration (B) •Stroma - (90% of thickness) 300-500 lamellae of collagen fibrils in the extracellular matrix (keratinocytes) (E) •Descemet membrane - product of endotelial cells •Endothelium - one layer of hexagonal cells (5000-2000 cells / mm²), decreases with age (F) 1 Anatomy of cornea • •Innervation – n. nasociliaris (nn. ciliares longi) V. cranial nerve •Immunology - privileged status is due to avascularity, the lack of lymphatic drainage, a small proportion of antigen presenting cells and the secretion of imunosupresive cytokines (apoptosis of lymphocytes) • •The phenomenon ACAID (anterior chamber associated immune deviation) • Function of cornea •Most refractive tissue (43D) •Transparency is defined by the arrangement of fibrils •Endothelial pump (ability of endothelium actively suck water- Na / K ATP pump) •Decrease in endothelial cells below 500 / mm² leads to irreversible changes Basic examination methods 1. 1.Anamnesis 2.Slit lamp biomicroscopy 3.Visual acuity 4.Laboratory test ( microbiology, cytology, serology, PCR) 5.
