Spanish term

pantalla

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) optics
Aunque los conocimientos sobre la película lagrimal, incluyendo la influencia de las lentes de contacto sobre la misma, están aún en fase de desarrollo, se sabe que desempeña un papel muy importante en la visión, ya que incrementa el poder de resolución del ojo debido al hecho de que crea una superficie óptica lisa sobre el epitelio de la córnea, reduciendo su irregularidad. Además, forma una pantalla entre el medio ambiente exterior que rodea al ojo y la superficie corneo-conjuntival, protegiendo a la misma.

Podría ser ¿buffer?

Gracias de antemano.
