Abstract

Although a defence mechanism, vessels entering the cornea pose many problems. Usually vessels entering the cornea are prevented by many mechanisms. The mode of vascularisation is discussed. Such vascularisation is described under superficial, interstitial and deep types. The various subtypes of the former two are further detailed. The differences between superficial and interstitial vessels are given. At the end the management of vascularisation is mentioned.
