New cornea layer named after Indian

Scientists have found a previously undetected layer in the cornea and named it after the Indian researcher who made the discovery.


The findings, by researchers from the University of Nottingham in UK, could help surgeons to improve outcomes for patients undergoing corneal grafts and transplants. The new layer has been dubbed the Dua's layer after professor Harminder Dua who discovered it.

The human cornea is the clear protective lens through which light enters the eye. Scientists previously believed the cornea to be composed of five layers - the corneal epithelium , Bowman's layer, the corneal stroma, Descemet's membrane and the corneal endothelium.

The new layer is located between the corneal stroma and Descemet's membrane ."Ophthalmology textbooks will literally need to be re-written ," Dua, professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences, said.

Such a shame that this news is making rounds all over the world and is going viral online, while we argue over the dumbest things on here.

This is truly a sad state of affairs.

Anyways, kudos to Mr. Dua!

Amazing achievement!

In the back of my mind I still think why oh why could your surname not have been Singh?

Singh's Layer sounds so much better than Dua's layer!

I was thinking the exact same thing about how it would have been better if he used the name Singh and then I saw your post.

Very valid point raised by you.

I had started a thread on why Sikhs are not using Singh and Kaur as their last names.

The answers received as to why some Sikhs do not use Singh and Kaur as their last names were incredulous and shocking to say the least.

We have failed to follow the far sightedness of our Great Gurus to create a caste less religion and use our tail names instead

of Singh and Kaur.

Well personally I believe Singh and kaur should be used by only amritdharis...I could be wrong.
