Cold Sores: Causes, Treatments, and Prevention Strategies | The Lifesciences ...The Lifesciences Magazine
Cold Sores, medically known as herpes labialis, are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). HSV-1 is primarily responsible for cold sores, although HSV-2 can also contribute in some cases.
2. ANATOMY
an average horizontal diameter - 11.7 mm
vertical diameter - 11 mm.
The posterior surface of cornea is circular with an
average diameter of 11.5 mm.
Thickness of cornea in the centre - 0.52 mm
at the periphery - 0.7 mm.
anterior radius of curvature - 7.8 mm
Posterior radius of curvature - 6.5 mm
4. Blood supply
Cornea is an avascular - Small loops derived from the
anterior ciliary vessels invade its periphery for about 1
mm
Nerve supply
Cornea is supplied by anterior ciliary nerves which are
branches of ophthalmic division of the 5th cranial nerve.
5. PHYSIOLOGY
1. to act as a major refracting medium
2. to protect the intraocular contents.
Corneal transparency
Peculiar arrangement of corneal lamellae
Avascularity
Relative state of dehydration
active bicarbonate pump of the Endothelium.
6. SOURCE OF NUTRIENTS
1. Solutes (glucose and others) enter the cornea by
either simple diffusion or active transport through
aqueous humor and by diffusion from the perilimbal
capillaries.
2. Oxygen is derived directly from air through the
tear film.
7. CONGENITAL ANOMALIES
Megalocornea
Megalocornea is labelled when the
horizontal diameter of cornea is of adult size at
birth 13 mm or greater after the age of 2 years. The
cornea is usually clear with normal thickness and
vision.
8.
9. Differential diagnosis
Buphthalmos. In this condition IOP is raised and the
eyeball is enlarged as a whole.
Keratoglobus. In this condition, there is thinning and
excessive protrusion of cornea, which seems
enlarged; but its diameter is usually normal
10. MICROCORNEA
In microcornea, the horizontal diameter is less than 10
mm since birth. The condition may occur as in
association with
nanophthalmos (normal small eyeball) or
microphthalmos (abnormal small eyeball).
11.
12. CORNEA PLANA
This is a rare anomaly in which bilaterally cornea is
comparatively flat since birth.
It may be associated with microcornea. Cornea
plana usually results in marked astigmatic refractive
error.
