Cloud of the Cornea

Cloudcornea

A corneal cloud is a special condition of the eye in which the upper part of the retina is torn, creating a kind of false image in the form of a fog or cloud. This name was given to it for its resemblance to a sparkling swirling cloud. This phenomenon is very rare - in approximately one person in a hundred thousand and can develop as an independent phenomenon, as well as be a complication after retinal surgery. But don’t despair: sometimes the corneal cloud goes away on its own – the main thing is to consult a specialist in time and identify the cause.

How is it formed

Physiologically, the process is associated with a hyper-branched circulatory network and processes of the optic nerve. They form a textured mucous membrane, which ensures high transparency of the eye. When a rupture occurs, a blood clot or fluid from the vitreous body enters the cavity of the orbit or membrane of the eye. Bubbles, drops and microthrombi form between large blood cells, forming an opalescent space. As a result, the internal path of the light rays changes - a deformed image is obtained, reminiscent of a sparkling snow cloud of fog. With age, this process can intensify, increasing its intensity. It has not been fully studied, but studies show that the pathological process worsens with age. There are a number of factors that contribute to the formation of a corneal cloud: * Complications after ophthalmic surgery, including destruction of the visual nucleus

Cornea Cloud: Introduction to Science

The Corneal Cloud, also known as Nubeculacorneales, is a unique medical phenomenon that affects the fields of neurosurgery and neurology research.

It consists of small gray droplets that are formed as a result of fluid retention inside the eye canals. Corneal clouds can appear at any age, from 20 years of age and older. They are most often found in women in the age group of 30 to 40 years. This is a fairly common phenomenon with a wide range of causes.

Below is a brief overview of the science behind the Corneal Cloud.

What is the Corneal Cloud and how does it arise?

The formation of a corneal cloud is the result of damage to the inner surface of the eye canal, which is also known as the anterior capsule of the eye. The immediate cause of this pathology is usually injury or other diseases that damage this inner lining. Under such circumstances, fluid inside the eye begins to linger. When the eyeball is at rest, this fluid continues to accumulate and can form a cloudy structure on the inner lining of the eye chamber.

This accumulation of fluid in the inner wall of the eye is called a corneal cloud. The name comes from the Latin word "
