[QUOTE="aristotle, post: 197816, member: 11816"] Scientific journals and lay newspapers alike, ran stories hinting at a new breakthrough in the field of Ophthalmology last year, after a paper published in a famous scientific journal [I]Ophthalmology[/I] authored by [B]Dr.Harminder Singh Dua[/B], an Indian-British medical doctor and researcher, claimed the discovery of a previously not known layer of cornea, the transparent part of the front of eyeball. The layer has since been called [B]Dua's layer[/B], honouring Dr. Dua's efforts Using donor corneas, Dr. Dua's team had used the technique of introducing air bubbles in the layers of the cornea after peeling off the [I]Descemet's membrane[/I], a thin layer which separates the substance of cornea from its endothelium, thereby differentially separating the layers. Interestingly, in some samples, air bubbles did not dissipate despite the removal of Descemet's membrane and which on further inflation revelaed the existence of a previously unkown layer of cornea. While some skeptics dismissed the research, other researchers hailed the discovery and went on to say that textbooks on Ophthalmology would literally have to be re-written. The discovery of this new layer of cornea could have implications in the fields of corneal repair and surgery, and allow scientists to study cornea in a better way. [B]Dr.Harminder Singh Dua[/B](MBBS, DO, DO [Lond], MS, MNAMS, FRCS, FRCOphth., FEBO, MD, PhD) was born in Jalandhar, Punjab and did his graduation from Government Medical College and Hospital, Nagpur.
