Ocular Surface, and
Corneal Innervation The ocular surface and corneal innervation is an area of significant importance in terms of vision. It is made up of various components, mainly nerves, epithelium, mucin, and glands. It is a crucial structure which provides protection and nourishment to the cornea while also allowing sensations such as touch and pain to be felt. It is also necessary for proper tear secretion, lubrication, and maintaining the health of the ocular surface. In addition to its many functions, ocular surface and corneal innervation also plays a role in vision as it is required for proper accommodation of the eye to changing light conditions in the environment. Without proper functioning of the ocular surface and corneal innervation, visual acuity can suffer and may even lead to vision loss in severe cases. Thus, it is extremely important to preserve the health of the ocular surface and corneal innervation.
