Abstract
Effects of corneal edema as a complication of treatment and therapeutic method
The transparency of the cornea (as well as other optical centers of the eye) is a highly important determinant of a clear image on the retina. This depends mostly on the maintenance of the exact balance between fluids and electrolytes within the stroma of the cornea. If this process is disrupted, the accumulation of fluid within the corneal layers causes corneal edema and reduces corneal transparency, which also has a negative impact on the formation of an image on the retina. This paper discusses the pathophysiology, causes and treatment of corneal edema.
