They help maintain corneal clarity by supporting the structure and chemistry of the stromal tissue. In clinical eye care, keratocytes are discussed when explaining corneal health, scarring (haze), and wound healing. They are also a common focus in corneal imaging, pathology reports, and ophthalmology research."}
