sarvkesta
Sarvkesta is the Estonian term for the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. It contributes about 43 diopters of refractive power and is essential for focusing light onto the retina. The cornea is avascular, receiving nutrients from the tear film and the aqueous humor, and is densely innervated by sensory nerves, giving it a high sensitivity to touch and injury.
Anatomically, the cornea comprises five layers: the epithelium, Bowman's layer, the stroma, Descemet's membrane, and the
Common conditions affecting the sarvkesta include keratitis (bacterial, viral, or fungal infections), corneal ulcers, and keratoconus
Diagnosis typically involves slit-lamp examination, corneal topography, and pachymetry to measure thickness. Treatments range from medications
