Cornea treatment
Ashok Netralaya provides cutting-edge cornea treatments, addressing a spectrum of conditions affecting this vital eye component. Our specialized care includes advanced diagnostics, personalized medical interventions, and surgical procedures tailored to individual needs.
The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped front surface of the eye that covers the iris and pupil. It plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the retina for vision. Composed of layers of specialized cells, the cornea is responsible for the majority of the eye’s optical power and helps protect the eye from external elements. Disorders or injuries to the cornea can impact vision and may require medical intervention.
Refractive Errors: The cornea’s shape influences how light enters the eye, and abnormalities can lead to common refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
Corneal Abrasions: Surface scratches on the cornea can result from injuries, foreign objects, or improper contact lens use, causing discomfort, redness, and sensitivity to light.
Keratitis: Inflammation of the cornea, often due to infection, injury, or wearing contaminated contact lenses, can lead to pain, redness, and blurred vision.
Corneal Ulcers: Open sores on the cornea caused by infections, injuries, or inadequate tear production can be serious, causing pain, redness, and discharge.
Corneal Ectasia: Conditions like keratoconus cause thinning and bulging of the cornea, resulting in distorted vision and the need for specialized contact lenses or surgical intervention.
Corneal Swelling (Edema): Excessive fluid retention in the cornea, often due to aging or other eye conditions, can lead to blurred vision and discomfort.
Corneal Transplant Rejection: After a corneal transplant, the body’s immune response may reject the new tissue, necessitating careful monitoring and potential intervention to preserve vision.
