| | Bowman's membrane |
 | | The Bowman's membrane is named after Sir William Bowman ( 1816- 1892), an English physician, anatomist and ophthalmologist, who discovered this membrane. | | | If the Bowman's membrane is damaged, scarring would normally occur. | | | The Bowman's membrane is a smooth layer in the eye. |

| | LaserMyEye :: Encyclopedia :: Basement membrane |
| | The basement membrane is a membrane of tissue beneath the epithelium which helps the epithelium adhere to the Bowman's layer or stromal tissue. | | | For patients getting LASIK, it is very important that the basement membrane be in good condition. | | | A poor basement membrane resulting in loosely adhering epithelium will put LASIK patients at far higher risk of serious epithelial defects, extremely slow healing and severe chronic dry eye after surgery. |

| | Bowman's membrane — the anterior limiting membrane in the cornea After completing his surgical training in 1844, Sir Bowman practised as an ophthalmologist at the Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital (later known as Moorfields Eye Hospital). | | | Sir Bowman left Birmingham in 1837 to further his training as a surgeon and attended King's College, London, where he served as a prosector under Robert Bentley Todd, a professor of physiology. | | | Sir William Bowman ( July 20, 1816- March 29, 1892) was a British surgeon and anatomist. |

| | The cells of the corneal epithelium sit on a thick basal lamina, Bowman's membrane, (named for Sir William Bowman, 1816-1892, the English ophthalmologist, anatomist and physiologist). | | | The corneal epithelium varies in thickness among different species, and if you have trouble finding in on this slide, try slide 268, where it should be very evident. | | | It is possible to remove the cornea, freeze it, and actually machine it in a small lathe-like device to alter its curvature, then stitch it back into place, with different focusing characteristics! |

| | eMedicine - Corneal Erosion, Recurrent : Article by Arun Verma, MD |
| | Recurrent corneal erosions occurring after injury or any corneal insult result because of improper or inadequate healing of the basement membrane, either because the basal epithelial cells fail to produce proper basement membrane complexes to attach to the Bowman layer and stroma or because of faulty basement membrane adherence. | | | Recurrent corneal erosions and epithelial basement membrane dystrophy are usually bilateral and are characterized by various patterns of dots, parallel lines that mimic fingerprints, and patterns that resemble maps, which appear in the epithelium. | | | Recurrent corneal erosion is an indication for the use of a therapeutic lens. |
