Cornea Surgery in Ghatkopar The cornea is the
clear dome shaped transparent, outermost layer of
the eye, about 12 mm in diameter. It serves as a
physical barrier against dust, microorganisms and
other harmful particles. The cornea also plays an
important role in vision. It filters some amount
of ultraviolet light and protects iris, pupil and
anterior chamber. As light is refracted by the
curvature of the cornea, it is focused on the
object and forms a clear Image. Any infection,
disease or trauma to the cornea can interfere
with vision by blocking or distorting light as it
enters the eye. It contains specialized tissue
having no blood vessels and is nourished with
your tears and aqueous humor (behind the
cornea). Treatment Simple corneal conditions can
be treated with antibiotic or anti-inflammatory
eye drops or pills. If you have advanced corneal
disease, you may need an advanced
treatment. Laser treatment In Corneal
dystrophies, doctors can use a type of laser
treatment called phototherapeutic keratectomy
(PTK) to reshape the cornea, remove scar tissue,
and make vision clearer. Corneal transplant
surgery In case cornea is damaged and cannot be
repaired, doctors can remove the damaged part and
replace it with healthy corneal tissue from a
donor. Artificial cornea - As an alternative to
corneal transplant, doctors can replace a damaged
cornea with an artificial cornea, called a
keratoprosthesis (KPro). To schedule an
