Cornea

Cornea Treatment

The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of your eye that helps focus light for sharp vision. When the cornea gets damaged or diseased, it can cause blurry vision, pain, redness, or even vision loss. Common corneal problems include infections, injuries, keratoconus (when the cornea thins and bulges), and scars.

Cornea treatment depends on the cause and severity of the problem:

  • 1. Medications: For minor infections or inflammation, doctors usually prescribe antibiotic or anti-inflammatory eye drops.
  • 2. Contact lenses: Special lenses, like rigid gas-permeable or scleral lenses, can help people with keratoconus or irregular corneas see better.
  • 3. Corneal cross-linking: This is a simple procedure for keratoconus that strengthens the cornea using special eye drops and UV light.
  • 4. Surgery: For severe damage, a corneal transplant may be needed. In this surgery, the damaged cornea is replaced with healthy donor tissue. There are different types of corneal transplants, and your doctor will choose the best one for you.

It’s important to protect your eyes from injury and infections by wearing sunglasses, using protective eyewear, and avoiding touching your eyes with dirty hands. Early treatment can save your vision and prevent complications.

If you notice changes in your vision, pain, or redness in your eyes, don’t wait—see an eye doctor right away!

Eye Treatments We Provide

Our highly-trained, experienced, and dedicated team of ophthalmologists specializes in treating an array of eye conditions.

  • Cataract

  • Glaucoma

  • Cornea

  • Laser

  • Medical Retina

Cataract

Cataracts are a common eye problem, especially as we age. They cause the natural lens of the eye to become cloudy, making vision blurry or dim. Early on, cataracts may not affect your daily life much. Your doctor might suggest stronger glasses, magnifying lenses, or better lighting to help you see more clearly for a while. But as cataracts get worse, surgery is the only way to truly fix the problem and restore your vision.

Symptoms of cataracts include:

  • Clouded, blurred or dim vision.
  • Trouble seeing at night.
  • Fading or yellowing of colors.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma can damage your optic nerve and lead to vision loss or even blindness if not treated early. It usually happens when pressure builds up inside your eye, often because fluid can’t drain properly. The scary part? Glaucoma often has no early symptoms, so many people don’t even know they have it until their vision starts to fade.

Symptoms of Glaucoma include:

  • Eye pain or pressure
  • Headaches
  • Red or bloodshot eyes
  • Blurred vision

Cornea

The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of your eye that helps focus light for sharp vision. When the cornea gets damaged or diseased, it can cause blurry vision, pain, redness, or even vision loss. Common corneal problems include infections, injuries, keratoconus (when the cornea thins and bulges), and scars.

Symptoms of Cornea include:

  • Extreme sensitivity to light
  • Pus or discharge from your eyes
  • Blurred vision

Laser Eye Surgery

LASIK is the most popular option. In LASIK, a thin flap is made on your cornea, then a laser reshapes the tissue underneath to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. The flap is then placed back, and recovery is usually quick—most people see better within a day or two.

For the first week after your surgery, you may have:

  • Lubricating eye drops to manage dry eye symptoms.
  • Antibiotic eye drops to prevent infection.
  • Steroidal eye drops to prevent inflammation.

Medical Retina

The medical retina is a vital part of your eye health, focusing on diagnosing and treating diseases that affect the retina—the thin, light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye. The retina’s job is to capture light and send signals to your brain, helping you see images clearly.

Common of Medical Retina Problems:

  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • Enteral serous retinopathy
  • Hereditary/genetic retinal disorders.
