Researchers Discover Another Layer To the Cornea
puddingebola writes with this excerpt: "A previously undetected layer in the cornea, the clear window at the front of the human eye, has been discovered by scientists at The University of Nottingham. This new layer, called the Dua's Layer after Professor Harminder Dua who discovered it, could help surgeons to dramatically improve outcomes for patients undergoing corneal grafts and transplants. This is a major discovery that will mean that ophthalmology textbooks will literally need to be re-written. Having identified this new and distinct layer deep in the tissue of the cornea, we can now exploit its presence to make operations much safer and simpler for patients," said Dua, Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences."
Publishers rejoice as student are once again forced to purchase new books.
How did this get missed for so long?
I would have called it the "cornucopia"!
"I see", said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.
I hope this caused some synapses to fire.
wouldn't "hammer and axe" make more sense? A saw can be guided to and then used to cut without the use of vision.
