KAM Doc Talk

In this episode of Knoxville Medicine’s Doc Talk , Host Dr. Rob Page talks with David Harris, MD, about the cornea and issues you may be having with your eyes. The cornea serves the eye by shielding it from germs and debris, such as dust. It shares this task with the eyelids, eye socket, tears and sclera. The cornea, which also helps bring vision into focus, functions as the outer lens and screens the eye from damaging ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths from the sun. The best comparison is that of a window letting in light or a camera taking a photo. For more information about your cornea, vision problems or to set up an appointment with Dr. Harris contact , University Eye Specialists @ 865-244-2020 or on the web @ https://www.universityeye.com/.
