Cornea Services & Corneal Transplant
Dedicated specialty care for the cornea, your eye's primary focusing lens. We offer advanced medical and surgical solutions for keratoconus, infections, and corneal failure.
Corneal Topography
Advanced imaging technology to map corneal shape and detect irregularities with precision.
Corneal Transplant
Full-thickness and partial-thickness keratoplasty procedures for corneal restoration.
Keratoconus Treatment
Comprehensive management including C3R cross-linking and specialized contact lenses.
Advanced Corneal Services
Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for all corneal conditions using cutting-edge technology
About Corneal Services
The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped front part of your eye that provides two-thirds of your eye's focusing power. When damaged, scarred, or irregularly shaped, vision becomes drastically impaired.
Our Corneal Treatment Options
Comprehensive solutions for all corneal conditions
Corneal Diagnostics
Advanced topography and specular microscopy for precise diagnosis
C3R Cross-linking
Revolutionary treatment to halt keratoconus progression
Specialty Lenses
RGP and scleral lenses for irregular corneas
Corneal Transplant
Full and partial thickness keratoplasty procedures
Key Corneal Diseases We Treat
Restoring the clarity, strength, and health of the corneal tissue
Keratoconus
Progressive thinning and steepening of the cornea into a cone shape, causing blurred and distorted vision.
Treatment Options:
- Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) contact lenses
- Scleral contact lenses
- Corneal Cross-linking (C3R)
- Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK)
Corneal Ulcers & Infections
Severe infections (bacterial, fungal, viral) of the cornea requiring immediate treatment.
Emergency Management:
- Immediate corneal scraping and culture
- Fortified antibiotic therapy
- Antifungal medications when indicated
- Close monitoring and follow-up
Corneal Dystrophies
Genetic conditions causing corneal clouding, swelling, or breakdown.
Common Types:
- Fuchs' Endothelial Dystrophy
- Lattice Dystrophy
- Map-Dot-Fingerprint Dystrophy
- Granular Dystrophy
Corneal Ulcer is an Emergency!
If you experience sudden onset of severe eye pain, intense redness, light sensitivity, and a white/grey spot on the cornea, seek emergency medical attention immediately. Delays can lead to rapid, irreversible vision loss.
This is especially true for contact lens wearers.
Advanced Keratoplasty Procedures
Modern surgical techniques for corneal restoration
Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK)
Full-thickness corneal transplant - the traditional gold standard
- Complete corneal replacement
- Best for extensive scarring
- Suitable for all corneal layers
DALK (Deep Anterior Lamellar)
Replaces only front layers, preserving patient's endothelium
- Ideal for keratoconus
- Lower rejection risk
- Preserves endothelial function
DSEK/DMEK (Endothelial)
Replaces only the inner endothelial layer
- For Fuchs' dystrophy
- Faster visual recovery
- Minimal sutures required
Corneal Cross-linking (C3R)
Revolutionary treatment to halt keratoconus progression:
- Riboflavin drops applied to cornea
- UV-A light exposure for 30 minutes
- Strengthens collagen bonds in corneal tissue
- Halts progression of keratoconus
- Outpatient procedure with local anesthesia
