A PARALLEL BETWEEN THE BIOPHYSICS AND THE BIOMOLECULARITY OF THE CORNEAL TRANSPARENCY AND THE BIOMOLECULARITY IN THE OEDEMATOUS KERATOPATHY INDUCED BY THE CORNEAL ARCHITECTURE

摘要

The basic principle of corneal transparency is primarily provided by the regularity of its components, thus minimizing the number of surfaces where the light can be refracted or reflected, this being the reason for which the biophysics of the corneal transparency is based on the stromal extracellular matrix. The main reason that leads to the loss of the corneal clarity is the disturbance of the regularity of its collagen fibres, the above-mention minimization being no longer able to take place in this case.
