Common Corneal Conditions Treated

Corneal Infections (Keratitis): Caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, leading to redness, pain, and vision disturbances. Corneal Abrasions: Scratches or injuries to the corneal surface that can cause discomfort and sensitivity to light. Corneal Ulcers: Open sores on the cornea, often resulting from untreated infections or trauma. Keratoconus: A progressive thinning and bulging of the cornea, causing distorted vision. Dry Eye Syndrome: Insufficient tear production or poor tear quality leading to dryness, irritation, and blurred vision. Pterygium and Pinguecula: Growths on the surface of the eye, often related to sun exposure, that can cause irritation or vision problems. Corneal Dystrophies: Hereditary conditions like Fuchs’ dystrophy or map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy that affect corneal clarity and vision. Post-Surgical or Post-Traumatic Corneal Complications: Corneal scarring or irregularities following surgeries or injuries.

Diagnostic Tools and Techniques

We employ advanced technology to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment: Corneal Topography: Maps the shape and curvature of the cornea to detect irregularities like keratoconus. Pachymetry: Measures corneal thickness, crucial for diagnosing and managing corneal diseases. Slit-Lamp Examination: A detailed, high-magnification inspection of the cornea to identify abnormalities or infections. Specular Microscopy: Evaluates the health of the corneal endothelial cells, essential for maintaining corneal clarity. Tear Film Analysis: Assesses tear production and quality for diagnosing dry eye syndrome. Confocal Microscopy: Provides detailed imaging of the cornea at a cellular level to detect specific conditions.
