Biochemistry of the Eye

Part of the book series: Perspectives in Vision Research ((PIVR))

Abstract

The cornea is composed of five distinct anatomic layers lying parallel to its surfaces: (1) an outermost epithelial layer that comprises about 8–10% of the total thickness; (2) the basal lamina (basement membrane) underlying the epithelium; (3) the stroma, which comprises about 90% of the total thickness; (4) Descemet’s membrane; and (5) the innermost endothelium, a single layer of cells that accounts for about 1% of the total thickness. Being an avascular tissue, the nutritional needs of the cornea are met by the tear film (the source of atmospheric oxygen) and the aqueous humor (the major source of glucose) (Stanifer et al., 1983; Maurice, 1984; Friend, 1987).
