Scientists previously believed the cornea to be composed of five layers, from front to back, the corneal epithelium, Bowman`s layer, the corneal stroma, Descemet`s membrane and the corneal endothelium.
The new layer that has been discovered is located at the back of the cornea between the corneal stroma and Descemet`s membrane.
The new layer has been dubbed the Dua`s Layer after the academic Professor Harminder Dua who discovered it.
