What is Cornea ?

Cornea is the clear, dome-shaped structure in front of our eye. It plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the Retina, enabling us to see clearly. Cornea is responsible for 60% of our vision.

● Corneal injuries or infections
● Dry eye Syndrome
● Hereditary conditions
● Allergic reactions
● Autoimmune disorders
● Contact lens misuse/overuse

To diagnose these conditions, an ophthalmologist performs a comprehensive eye examination-slit lamp examination and if required imaging scans like corneal topography.

Common Corneal Diseases

  • Corneal ulcers
  • Pterygium
  • Corneal Inflammations
  • Corneal foreign body
