Often likened to a window, the cornea is the transparent front layer of the eye. Acting as a protective barrier against dirt, germs, and other elements, its primary function is to refract incoming light. In essence, it’s our eye’s natural lens, focusing and directing light onto the retina. Any aberrations in its shape or clarity can disrupt this process, leading to visual distortions.
Some of the Corneal Challenges We Address
- Keratitis: A corneal inflammation that could be infectious or non-infectious.
- Keratoconus: A progressive thinning and cone-like protrusion of the cornea affecting vision.
- Corneal Scars: Often resulting from injuries or infections, these can blur vision.
- Fuchs’ Dystrophy: A degenerative condition affecting the innermost layer of the cornea.
