We studied postoperative corneal sensitivity after cataract operation by scleral incision (30 eyes) or corneal incision (29 eyes). Corneal sensitivity was evaluated at 5 points of the cornea with a Cochet & Bonnet esthesiometer at 3 and 6 months after operation. Total value of corneal sensitivity decreased by 60 +/- 5.0 mg/S (mean +/- deviation) 3 months after corneal incision and by 46 +/- 4.1 mg/S after scleral incision. At 6 months after operation, the total value of corneal sensitivity was deceased by 14.0 +/- 2. 5 mg/S in corneal incision cases and by 7.9 +/- 2.0 mg/S in scleral incision cases. Corneal sensitivity after operation was decreased more by corneal incision than by scleral incision.

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.

D012590 Sclera The white, opaque, fibrous, outer tunic of the eyeball, covering it entirely excepting the segment covered anteriorly by the cornea. It is essentially avascular but contains apertures for vessels, lymphatics, and nerves. It receives the tendons of insertion of the extraocular muscles and at the corneoscleral junction contains the CANAL OF SCHLEMM.
