What is Cornea ?
The cornea is the transparent outer layer at the front of the eye that protects the inner structures of the eye.
It helps bend and focus light onto the retina, allowing clear vision.
Since the cornea has no blood vessels, it receives oxygen directly from the air and tears.
Any damage or irregularity in the cornea can affect vision quality and eye comfort.
Common corneal conditions include infections, injuries, keratoconus, and corneal ulcers.
Regular eye examinations help in detecting corneal problems early and maintaining healthy vision.
At Sree Netralaya Eye Hospital, we provide advanced corneal evaluation and treatment using modern eye care technology.
Conditions we treat
Keratoconus
Keratoconus is an eye condition in which the cornea becomes thin and gradually bulges into a cone shape.
This can cause blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and difficulty seeing clearly.
Corneal Ulcer
A corneal ulcer is an open sore on the cornea, usually caused by infection, injury, or dry eyes. It can lead to redness, pain, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light.
Corneal Dystrophy
Corneal dystrophy is a group of inherited eye conditions that cause abnormal material to build up in the cornea. It may lead to blurred vision, eye discomfort, glare, or light sensitivity.
Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry Eye Syndrome occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. It can cause irritation, burning, redness, and blurred vision.
