Cornea and Conjunctiva

The corneal specialists at Bennett & Bloom Eye Centers have the experience and offer the latest technology necessary to treat a wide range of corneal diseases and injuries. Our cornea team includes fellowship-trained experts in the treatment of complex corneal conditions.

What Is the Cornea?

The cornea is the clear front part of the eye that covers the iris and pupil. It helps focus light, providing most of the eye’s optical power. It also acts as a shield to protect the eye. If the cornea becomes damaged–whether from injury, disease, or a genetic condition–turn to the corneal specialists at Bennett & Bloom Eye Centers for expert evaluation and care. 

What Is the Conjunctiva?

The conjunctiva is a thin, transparent membrane that covers the white part of the eyeball (sclera) and lines the inside of the eyelids. It plays a crucial role in protecting the eye by acting as a barrier against dust, microbes, and other foreign particles. This membrane is also vital for maintaining eye health, as it contains blood vessels and glands that produce mucus and tears to lubricate the eye’s surface, ensuring smooth and comfortable movement. Its immune cells contribute to defending against infections, making it an essential part of the eye’s protective system.
