HEALING YOUR CONJUNCTIVA & CORNEA
CONJUNCTIVA
A white, thin, transparent conjunctiva film covers the sclera (the white part of the eye) and lines the inside of the eyelids. It ensures that the eye is protected by trapping dirt and dust while also producing tears and mucus to lubricate it.
CORNEA
The cornea is a clear dome-shaped structure located at front part of eye which helps in focusing vision by directing incoming light rays into our eyes.
SYMPTOMS OF CONJUNCTIVA
Thick Discharge
Yellow or green discharge from the eye.
Redness

Tearing

CONJUNCTIVA
- The conjunctiva is a transparent, thin mucosa that covers the white part of the eye (sclera) and lines the inner surface of the eyelids.
- It consists of non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium and stratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells secreting mucus.
- Protection: Mucus traps eye irritants such as dust, debris, and microorganisms, keeping them from entering the eye.
- Lubrication: This conjunctiva secretes mucus, keeping the eye moist and allowing for smooth lid movement.
- Immune Response: It also contains immune cells that help in fighting against infections and other foreign substances.
- Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): A condition characterized by inflammation or infection in conjunctiva caused mostly by bacteria, viruses, allergens or irritants. Symptoms are redness, swelling, and discharge.
- Pterygium: This benign growth may develop on the cornea extending onto the cornea, thereby affecting vision, perhaps
CORNEA
- The cornea is a clear dome-shaped layer that constitutes the anterior part of any eye; it covers both the iris and pupil.
- It has five layers, including epithelium, Bowman’s layer, stroma, Descemet’s membrane, and endothelium.
- Transparency: To allow light inside it so that it can reach the retina is one function why this part is transparent.
- Refraction: Incoming lights are refracted (bent) before they reach the retina, hence focusing them directly on it.
- Protection: Dust particles cannot easily get into your eye since there exists a physical barrier called the cornea, which offers protection to the inner parts of an eye against pathogenic organisms
- Keratitis: An inflammation of the cornea which could be caused by non-infectious factors (injury, misuse of contact lenses) or infections (bacteria, viruses, fungus).
- Corneal Abrasion: A scratch or injury which occurs in the cornea with symptoms such as pain, redness and sensitivity to light.
- Corneal Ulcer: It is an open sore on the cornea that usually results from infections, injuries or contact lens complications with pain, blurred vision and the possibility of scarring.
