Corneal Issues
The Cornea
The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye, and any issues with it can lead to significant vision problems.
Common Corneal Problems:
REFRACTIVE ERRORS
This is a scratch or injury to the cornea, which can be caused by trauma or foreign objects entering the eye.
Keratitis
This is an infection or inflammation of the cornea, which can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites.
Corneal Ulcer
This is a sore on the cornea that is usually caused by an infection. It can lead to vision loss if not treated promptly.
Corneal Dystrophy
This is a group of inherited conditions that can affect the cornea and cause vision problems.
Corneal Edema
This is a swelling of the cornea, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as trauma, infection, or underlying medical conditions.
Book an Appointment
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see an ophthalmologist, who can diagnose and treat any underlying corneal issues that may be causing your symptoms.
