Cornea Diseases and Treatments

Disease of the visual system that may lead to eventual total blindness. As a result, research into corneal disease is done to help treat it, and methods like contact lenses and vision correction are also employed to treat difficulties associated to eyesight, in addition to surgical procedures like corneal transplantation to replace the cornea. The retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the rear of the organ of sight, is illuminated by working the cornea and focal point of the eye. Light is refracted or bent as it approaches the focal point at the point where it strikes the cornea. The retina is where light is first translated into vision by the focal point, which refocuses that light. The retina changes over light into electrical driving forces that go through the optic nerve to the mind, which translates them as pictures.
