The tear-moistened surface of your eye’s cornea allows oxygen to diffuse directly from the air into your eyeball.

A paper published last week in Nature Biotechnology describes a bioengineered cornea that restored sight to 20 people, 14 of them previously blind, in an initial clinical trial.

This disease thins the cornea, the outermost transparent layer of the eye, and prevents the eye from focusing properly.

These corneas, described in Nature Biotechnology today, could help restore sight to people in countries where human cornea transplants are in short supply, and for a lower price.

Fungal keratitis, an infection of the cornea, strikes more than a million people annually, estimates suggest, and blinds around 600,000.

Blood was pooling beneath her cornea, forming what is known as a hyphema.

It is no more art to use the cornea and retina for the reception of an image, than to use a lens and a piece of silvered paper.

Make an incision through the upper quadrant of the cornea into the anterior chamber by means of a triangular keratome.

Without removing the needle from the cornea attach the syringe and make the injection into the anterior chamber.
