Cornea

Cornea

At Swarup Eye Centre, we offer state-of-the-art cornea services to diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of corneal conditions. The cornea is the clear outer layer at the front of the eye that helps your eye to focus light so you can see clearly.

Common Corneal Diseases

  • Corneal Ulcers: Open sores on the cornea, often caused by infections or injuries.
  • Keratoconus: A progressive thinning and bulging of the cornea, leading to distorted vision.
  • Dry Eye Syndrome: Insufficient tear production, causing irritation and discomfort.
  • Pterygium: A raised, fleshy, triangular-shaped growth that starts in the corner of your eye.
  • Corneal Abrasion, Foreign Body and Injuries: A scratch, foreign body or injury to the surface of the cornea.
  • Corneal Dystrophy: A group of rare hereditary disorders characterised by bilateral abnormal deposition of substances on the cornea.
  • Corneal Degenerations: Conditions that cause gradual deterioration and changes in the cornea.

Cornea

  • Recurrent Corneal Erosion: The outermost layer of the cornea repeatedly detaches from the underlying tissue.
  • Keratoglobus: Characterized by diffuse thinning and globular protrusion of the cornea, often leading to severe visual impairment.
  • Contact Lens Related Complications: Corneal complications due to contact lens wear.
  • Corneal Leukoma (Corneal Opacity): A clouding or opacity of the cornea, caused by scarring, infections, or injuries.
  • Herpetic Keratitis: Inflammation of the cornea caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
  • Interstitial Keratitis: A rare form of keratitis that affects the deeper layers of the cornea.
  • Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus (HZO): Caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, affecting the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve.
  • Bullous Keratopathy: A condition where fluid-filled blisters form in the cornea.
  • Iridocorneal Endothelial Syndrome (ICE): A rare group of conditions affecting the iris and cornea.
  • Corneal Neovascularization: The formation of new blood vessels in the cornea due to inflammation, injury, or infection.
