The Layer of Dua is the name that has been given to the new section of the cornea, and is expected to make its discovery more simple, eye operations.
the layer of Dua scientific discovery was made by the University of Nottingham (United Kingdom) and was named for the scientist who led the researchHarminder Dua.
Above is believed that the corneas had five layers nothing more; however, thanks to this discovery is known that there is one more and is located in the back of the eye (it is quite thin, so is he had not noticed before).
La Dua layer measured 15 microns in thickness and is very strong, being an important supplement for eye protection and like the rest of the other layers of the cornea, allow the entry of light and therefore, the image itself.
With the knowledge of the sixth layer of the cornea, is could have eye surgery more effective and faster, taking greater attention to operations, and a more precise identification of the problems that patients may have.
