Description
Corneal Opacity is a disease of the Eyes.
The clouding of the Cornea that causes blurred vision is Corneal Opacity.
The Cornea is a transparent dome shaped part that covers the front area of the eyeball. It protects the eyeball from harmful substances like dust and germs. When the light enters the eye, the cornea refracts this light and focus on the Lens. With the help of the Retina and optic nerve the image is made in the Brain. If something goes wrong with the Cornea the light will not enter to the lens and causes blurred vision.
