Abstract

For understanding the lesions affecting an organ, basic knowledge of the physiology of that organ is a must. This chapter deals with basics of physiology without going into very detailed discussion which is not needed and also beyond the scope of this book. Biochemistry and corneal metabolism are discussed first followed by corneal transparency and permeability.
