Abstract:
Ten pairs of eyeballs from buffalo were collected to study and record the histomorphometry of the cornea. The anterior epithelium, corneal stroma, descemet’s membrane, and endothelium were found to be arranged serially from the external to the internal surface of the cornea. The mean value of the total thickness of the cornea at the periphery was 798.607±69.17 μm. The major part of the cornea (>80%) was formed by the stroma. The anterior epithelium was stratified squamous epithelium, and the number of layers ranged from 7 to 12. The endothelium was formed by a single row of flattened cells with prominent elongated nuclei behind the Descemet’s membrane.
