Cornea and External Eye Disease Pathology

Cornea and external eye disease pathology refers to the study of diseases affecting the front part of the eye, particularly the cornea (the clear, protective layer covering the eye) and surrounding structures like the conjunctiva (the membrane covering the inner eyelids and white part of the eyeball). Conditions can include infections, injuries, inflammatory diseases, and degenerative changes, which may cause symptoms like redness, pain, vision loss, or sensitivity to light. Understanding these diseases helps in diagnosing and treating eye conditions effectively to preserve vision and maintain eye health.
