Treatment for Corneal Disorders
The cornea, the transparent front layer of the eye, plays a vital role in focusing light for clear vision. Corneal disorders, such as infections, injuries, or degenerative conditions, can severely affect vision and quality of life. At Netra Eye Care, we offer comprehensive and advanced treatments for a wide range of corneal disorders, ensuring the highest standards of care for your eye health.
Common Corneal Disorders We Treat
- Dry Eye Syndrome: A condition caused by insufficient tear production or poor-quality tears, leading to irritation and discomfort.
- Chronic Eye Allergies: Persistent redness, itching, and watering due to allergens.
- Corneal Infections: Bacterial, fungal, or viral infections, including keratitis, which can cause pain, redness, and vision loss if untreated.
- Corneal Trauma: Injuries such as abrasions, cuts, or chemical burns that require immediate attention.
- Keratoconus: A progressive thinning of the cornea, leading to distorted vision.
- Corneal Scarring: Resulting from injuries or infections, scarring can obscure vision.
- Corneal Dystrophies: Inherited conditions that alter the structure of the cornea, such as Fuchs’ dystrophy.
