Cornea Treatment

What is the Cornea?

The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped layer at the front of your eye. It acts as a light-entering window and plays a vital role in bending light to ensure sharp and clear vision. It also protects the eye from dust, dirt, and harmful irritants.

Epithelium

Outer protective layer that absorbs oxygen and shields the eye from dirt and damage.

Bowman’s Layer

Provides structural strength and protects against injuries.

Stroma

The thickest layer responsible for maintaining shape and transparency.

Descemet's Membrane

A strong protective barrier guarding against infections.

Endothelium

Controls fluid balance to maintain clarity of the cornea.

Each layer plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy vision. Damage to the cornea may cause blurred or cloudy vision — similar to looking through a foggy window.

Causes of Cornea Issues

Corneal disorders may develop due to infections, trauma, environmental exposure, or genetic conditions. Early identification helps prevent serious complications and vision loss.

Pollution & Dust

Continuous exposure to pollution and dust may lead to repeated eye infections and irritation.

Dry Eye (Screen Time)

Prolonged screen exposure reduces blinking and causes dryness, affecting corneal health.

Eye Trauma

Accidents or minor injuries like foreign particles entering the eye can damage the cornea.

Infections & Burns

Herpes infections or chemical burns can result in severe scarring and long-term vision problems.

Vitamin A Deficiency

Lack of Vitamin A can soften the cornea and may gradually lead to severe vision loss.

Types of Cornea Conditions

Conditions affecting the cornea can vary greatly in severity. Early diagnosis is key to effective treatment.

🦠
Most Common

Infections

Bacterial, viral or fungal infections can lead to painful corneal ulcers that require prompt medical attention. Keratitis is the most prevalent form and responds well to early treatment.

🔬

Degenerative Conditions

Keratoconus or Fuchs' dystrophy slowly damages the cornea over time and diminishes vision progressively.

Trauma

Physical damage from accidents or chemical burns can cause corneal scarring, sometimes permanently affecting vision.

🧮

Genetic Disorders

Congenital dystrophies and other hereditary conditions can impact vision quality early in life.

🌿

Allergies

Severe allergies can break down the ocular surface and cause chronic irritation and discomfort.

Our Promise

Every corneal condition we treat is approached with precision diagnostics and personalised care plans.

Benefits of Cornea Treatment

Treating corneal conditions can enhance your quality of life significantly and restore your independence.

01

Restore Vision Clarity

Regaining vision helps regain independence in everyday life such as reading, driving and working without having pain or difficulty.

02

Eliminate Discomfort

By treating the cornea, you alleviate any discomfort, prevent damage and protect your eyes from future issues and complications.

03

Protect Long-Term Health

Early and effective treatment prevents further deterioration and safeguards your vision for years to come.

"Patients often describe the experience as a rebirth, where once again, the world feels vivid and full of life."

Cornea Diagnosis

At Shraddha Eye Care Trust, we use advanced diagnostic tools to assess the health of the cornea with pinpoint accuracy.

🔭

Anterior Segment OCT

Non-invasive, high-resolution imaging that provides a cut-section of the cornea and analyses the anterior segment with exceptional detail.

💡

Slit-Lamp Examination

A bright, focused light magnifies the eye, allowing our specialists to closely examine the cornea and detect subtle abnormalities.

📏

Pachymetry

Measures the thickness of the cornea, which is important for assessing glaucoma risk, LASIK suitability, or the need for corneal transplant surgery.

📐

Keratometry

Assesses the curvature of the cornea to detect irregularities like keratoconus and plan appropriate treatment approaches.

Treatment Options for Cornea Conditions

At Shraddha Eye Care Trust, we offer a range of treatments depending on the condition's severity and nature.

  • 💊

    Mild infections can often be treated with eye drops or ointments prescribed by our specialists.

  • 🔧

    Ocular surface procedure: Pterygium excision and autologous grafting for surface conditions.

  • 🏥

    Corneal Foreign Body Removal — safe and precise extraction of embedded particles from the eye.

  • 🧪

    Corneal Scraping and Cultures — for infective keratitis diagnosis and targeted treatment planning.
