Description

The cornea is composed of four layers; the outer epithelium, stroma, Descemet's membrane, and endothelium. The healthy cornea should be clear in order to refract sufficient quantity and quality of light into the eye. This light is then focused to form an image on the retina. Clarity is maintained by specific characteristics of each of the four layers.
