Dr. Stuart Hickerson answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Cornea: Your cornea covers your pupil and iris. It is a clear layer that helps to refract light. Iridocorneal Endothelial Syndrome involves an irregular corneal endothelium that can lead to varying degrees of corneal edema or iris atrophy.
