Cornea Treatment
Cornea Treatment
The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped front layer of the eye, essential for focusing vision by allowing light to enter and be refracted onto the retina. A healthy, clear cornea is necessary for sharp, unobstructed vision. However, various conditions, injuries, or infections can impair corneal function, leading to vision problems or even blindness.
Common Corneal Conditions
- Corneal Abrasions
- Keratoconus
- Corneal Infections
- Corneal Dystrophies
- Scarring and Clouding
