Proceeding in a posterior direction, this structure's five established layers are the anterior epithelium, Bowman's layer, the stroma, Descemet's membrane, and the endothelium.
Mutations in the TGFBI gene can lead to the appearance of honeycomb or dot patterns, or map and fingerprint like lines in this structure's epithelium. Harminder Dua was criticized for claiming that "textbooks will literally need to be re-written" to accommodate his 2013 discovery of a new layer in this structure. Proceeding in a posterior direction, this structure's five established layers are the anterior epithelium, Bowman's layer, the stroma, Descemet's membrane, and the endothelium. Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis may result in the abrasion of this structure due to contact with hairs. Chemical burns or oxygen deprivation can cause a deleterious neovascularization of this structure, which normally lacks blood vessels except at the edges. The irregular curvature of this structure in astigmatism can be corrected with LASIK surgery. For 10 points, name this transparent front covering of the eye.
