Cornea of Eye
The cornea’s primary function is to aid in eye focus. By focusing light rays on the retina, which is located at the rear of the eye, it helps the eye see clearly and sharply.
Keratoconus
Keratoconus causes a progressive ectasia or thinning of the cornea. It increases the curvature of the cornea, resulting in an irregular and steep corneal shape.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a treatable condition. Now a number of excellent pressure-controlling eye drops are available which can halt the progress of the disease.
Retina
The retina is the innermost light-sensitive layer of the eye, which plays a huge role in visual clarity. It is similar to the film in a camera.
Eye Allergies
Eye allergy is often associated with increased rubbing of the eyes. This can produce a thinning and weakness of the cornea of the eye.
Eye Check up
spectacle powers?, watching T.V. or Laptop/iPad usage cause spectacle power to increase?, What can we do to stop the number from increasing?
CXL / C3R Surgery
Patients of progressive Keratoconus are advised Corneal Collagen Cross Linking C3R to halt the progression.
Rose K lenses
Rose-K lenses are meant to be used for patients with irregular corneas who have compromised vision, particularly Keratoconus, scarred corneas etc.
Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty
Cornea transplant has undergone may advances and involves layer by layer transplants, which have highly increased the success chances of this operation.

Risk of not getting treated!
In the early stages, a Cornea Specialist needs to conduct a detailed evaluation to prevent the condition from being overlooked. This evaluation includes performing a special scan for the patient, referred to as Corneal Topography.
A specialized machine called Topography maps the cornea, providing a precise analysis of the contour and shape of the cornea, along with detailed data on curvature and thickness at various points on each cornea. Various types of Topographers are available, each offering different data.
Keratoconus that is not active will not always progress.
If it does progress, a procedure called Cornea Cross Linking is performed to help stop the disease, but it cannot make the eyes normal.
If the disease is already in an advanced stage at the first visit or if the patient was diagnosed late, early cross-linking may be recommended. Otherwise, regular check-ups are conducted to document any signs of progression.
- Irreversible vision loss.
- Advanced keratoconus can cause scars in the cornea.
- Can lead to corneal transplant.
