Understanding Corneal Diseases

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. It plays a crucial role in focusing light, and any disease or damage to it can significantly impair vision.

Common corneal conditions include Keratoconus, Fuchs' dystrophy, infections (keratitis), and injuries. Symptoms can range from blurred vision and light sensitivity to severe pain and tearing. At our clinic, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools to accurately identify the specific condition. Treatment options vary widely, from specialized contact lenses and eye drops to advanced surgical procedures like corneal transplants (keratoplasty). Dr. D'souza specializes in modern corneal treatments, ensuring patients receive the most effective and personalized care for their condition.
