In short
The cornea is the clear dome at the front of the eye, and it does most of the eye's focusing. When it scars, thins and bulges (keratoconus) or gets infected, sight suffers. Our cornea specialist, Dr. Yogesh Bhadange, treats these with medicines, special contact lenses and, where needed, a corneal transplant, either full thickness or a partial graft such as DALK or DSAEK.
Cornea or Keratoconus Treatment
The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye that plays a crucial role in vision. It helps focus light onto the retina and protects the inner structures of the eye. Maintaining a healthy cornea is essential for clear vision and overall eye health, as it is susceptible to various conditions such as keratoconus, corneal ulcers, and infections.
