Although it may seem rather inconsequential, it is in fact a highly organised tissue. Unlike most tissue in the body, the cornea contains no blood vessels to nourish or protect it against infection. Instead, the cornea receives its nourishment from tears and the aqueous humor (a fluid in the front part of the eye that lies behind the cornea). Small scratches or minor injuries it can handle.
However more serious injuries, some allergies, a few inherited conditions and a raft of diseases with increasingly bizarre names may make surgical intervention (corneal transplantation) necessary.
You may think that LASIK or laser eye surgery is expensive. While it isn’t cheap, you might be surprised to learn how much money you save when compared to a lifetime of buying glasses or contacts.
LASIK proves a superior investment over the course of 20 years or less, depending on how much you spend on glasses or contacts. Not to mention you will enjoy the added benefit of not requiring to wear glasses or put in contacts every day.
