The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped front surface of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. It plays a vital role in vision by refracting and focusing light onto the retina at the back of the eye. The cornea consists of several layers, including the outer epithelium, the middle stroma, and the inner endothelium.
If you have corneal disease, you may observe
Sensitivity to Light (Photophobia):
Redness and Irritation
Excessive Tearing
Vision Disturbances
Vision is the ability to perceive and interpret the surrounding world through the eyes. It is a complex process involving the eyes, optic nerves, and the brain. Regular vision screening is crucial for maintaining eye health and detecting potential issues early on. Screening methods include visual acuity tests, which measure the sharpness of vision, and eye examinations that evaluate eye alignment, eye movements, and overall eye health.
Other screening tools may involve assessing color vision, depth perception, and peripheral vision. These screenings help identify refractive errors, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, as well as more serious conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration, facilitating timely intervention and appropriate vision correction measures.
Contact Lenses Ophthalmologists often prescribe special contact lenses for patients with keratoconus or corneal dystrophies. The most suitable type of lens varies depending on the severity of the disease.
Transplants Doctors treat many forms of this corneal disease by removing the cornea and replacing it. This treatment can help people with iridocorneal endothelia syndrome, keratoconus, lattice dystrophy and several other varieties.
Crosslinking An eye doctor may use corneal crosslinking to treat keratoconus. This relatively recent procedure employs ultraviolet rays. It delays the disease’s progression by stabilizing corneal tissue.
Laser Therapy It’s possible to treat many infections and dystrophies with a computer-controlled excimer laser. In some situations, an ophthalmologist can use phototherapeutic keratectomy as a substitute for transplantation. The laser destroys diseased or irregular tissue and allows the body to replace it. Patients often recover quickly and enjoy rapid improvements in their vision. Laser therapy works best when only the cornea’s surface layer needs repair.

With their extensive knowledge and expertise, they diagnose and treat a wide range of corneal conditions, ranging from infections and injuries to degenerative diseases and complex corneal disorders.
At Sarvdrishti Hospital, we offer a comprehensive range of cornea services, tailored to meet your specific needs.
We specialize in corneal collagen cross-linking, a non-invasive procedure that strengthens the cornea in cases of keratoconus or corneal ectasia. This innovative treatment helps to halt the progression of these conditions, preserving your vision and potentially reducing the need for more invasive interventions.
In cases of corneal trauma or extensive corneal damage, our skilled surgeons perform corneal reconstruction procedures to restore the corneal structure and function. These reconstructive surgeries aim to improve vision and enhance the overall health of the eye.
