VIDEO: Dua’s layer has important implications in corneal pathologies
ATHENS, Greece — In this Healio Video Perspective from the ESCRS winter meeting, Harminder S. Dua, MD, PhD, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Nottingham, discusses the implications of Dua’s layer in corneal pathology.
The pre-Descemet’s layer, or Dua’s layer, which Dua and colleagues previously discovered, is located between the corneal stroma and Descemet’s membrane.
Dua explained that this layer plays an important role in Descemet’s membrane detachment, acute hydrops in keratoconus, intracorneal hypopyon, descemetocele and some dystrophies.
“Very exciting work that we are now doing is to show that the pre-Descemet’s layer is primarily involved in keratoconus,” he said.
