Cornea

What is the Cornea?

The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. It plays a vital role in focusing vision by refracting (bending) light entering the eye. A healthy cornea is essential for clear vision.

Common Corneal Disorders

  • Corneal Ulcer – An open sore on the cornea, often caused by infection

  • Keratoconus – Progressive thinning and bulging of the cornea

  • Corneal Dystrophies – Genetic conditions causing clouding of the cornea

  • Corneal Scars – From injuries or infections causing vision impairment

  • Dry Eye Syndrome – Insufficient tear production leading to corneal discomfort

Treatment for Corneal Conditions

  • Medications – Antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral eye drops for infections

  • Corneal Cross-Linking – To strengthen the cornea in conditions like keratoconus

  • Laser Treatments – To correct minor irregularities or scars

  • Corneal Transplant (Keratoplasty) – Replacing damaged cornea with donor tissue in severe cases

  • Amniotic Membrane Transplantation – To promote healing in corneal ulcers or severe dry eye

Our hospital uses state-of-the-art technology and expert care for precise diagnosis and effective treatment.
