Inherited and developmental corneal disorders.

The cornea is one of the rare transparent tissues in nature. Its clarity and curvature are essential for clear and precise vision. This clarity may be adversely affected by a number of congenital and developmental conditions. It is important to recognize these defects early in order to prevent amblyopia, and, in many cases, to rule out congenital glaucoma or associated congenital or developmental disorders. Early treatment of corneal disorders may prevent permanent visual loss and can facilitate early visual rehabilitation.

A review of the literature supported the fact that implanted solid film polymers can precipitate a continuous, chronic inflammatory response that is dynamic and that may be exacerbated by numerous factors.
