ANATOMY OF THE EYEANATOMY OF THE EYE
THE WALL OF THE EYE BALL IS COMPOSED OF A DENSE, THE WALL OF THE EYE BALL IS COMPOSED OF A DENSE, IMPERFECTLY ELASTIC SUPPORTING MEMBRANEIMPERFECTLY ELASTIC SUPPORTING MEMBRANE
THE ANTERIOR PART OF THE MEMBRANE IS THE ANTERIOR PART OF THE MEMBRANE IS TRANSPARENT TRANSPARENT THE THE CORNEACORNEA
THE ANTERIOR PART OF THE SCLERA IS COVERED BY THE ANTERIOR PART OF THE SCLERA IS COVERED BY MUCOUS MEMBRANE MUCOUS MEMBRANE THE THE CONJUNGTIVACONJUNGTIVA

THE CORNEA CONSIST OF FIVE LAYERS : - EPITHELIUMEPITHELIUM - - BOWMAN’S MEMBRANEBOWMAN’S MEMBRANE - - STROMA OR SUBSTANTIA PROPIASTROMA OR SUBSTANTIA PROPIA - - DESCEMET’S MEMBRANEDESCEMET’S MEMBRANE - - ENDOTHELIUMENDOTHELIUM
55
• THE EPITHELIUM REGARDED AS THE CONTINUATION OF THE CONJUNGTIVA OVER THE CORNEA
• THE SUBSTANTIA PROPIA REGARDED AS THE CONTINUATION FORWARD OF THE SCLERA
• THE STROMA FORMING 90 % OF THE TOTAL CORNEAL THICKNESS
66
• DESCEMET’S MEMBRANE IS A THIN ELASTIC MEMBRANE, COVERED ON ITS POSTERIOR BY ENDOTHELIUM
• THE PRIMARY MECHANISME CONTROLLING STROMAL HYDRATION IS A FUNCTION OF THE CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM
• ENDOTHELIAL CELLS BECOME LESS IN NUMBER WITH AGE AND INDIVIDUAL CELL ENLARGE TO COMPENSATE

Clinical appearance of corneal Clinical appearance of corneal ulcersulcers
Serpeginous corneal ulcerSerpeginous corneal ulcer.. Etiology : PneumococcusEtiology : Pneumococcus acute, well circumscribed acute, well circumscribed gray ulcer, tends to spread to center of corneagray ulcer, tends to spread to center of cornea hypopyon is common (sterile)hypopyon is common (sterile)

•Pseudomonas ulcer.• Etiology : Pseudomonas aerg. (present in Flourescein
sol.)• bluish-green exudate • very acute ,spread rapidly to all direction ,because proteolytic enzyme destroy the corneal stroma
