Keratocele, Descemetocele

Keratocele, Descemetocele is a protrusion of the base of a deep ulcer formed on the cornea of ​​the eye. The deep layer of the cornea (Descemet's membrane) is a homogeneous elastic membrane that is relatively resistant to perforation. Therefore, when the layers of the cornea above it become damaged, it begins to bulge outward.

Keratocoelia (Kerat - Kirtsch in ophthalmology), or Synergy of the eye, is a deformation of the corneal sphere, externally manifested as a “bulge” of the cornea. This is damage to the cornea of ​​the eye, which is manifested by its bulging with damage to the anterior layers. In medical practice, it is customary to use the Latin name “keratocoelia,” but in everyday life

Keratocelesis and descemetoceles are pathologies of the cornea that arise due to physical impact on the eyeball. Complications can have serious consequences both for the eye in general and for vision in particular. Deviations occur due to dysfunction of the filtration zone of the eye, which subsequently contributes to the formation of a pathological depression. The pathology mainly develops after traumatic lesions of the body, and can also be congenital and occur due to pathologies of embryonic development.
