About
Cornea
The cornea is the clear, outermost layer of the eye that functions like a window to your vision. It plays an essential role in focusing light onto the retina, contributing to nearly two-thirds of your eye’s ability to focus. Maintaining a healthy cornea is critical for sharp vision and overall eye health.

What causes corneal diseases?
How do I know if I need a corneal transplant?

You will be in the operating room for 1-2 hours, but the actual surgery will take less time.
Are corneal transplants safe?
How do I know if my body is rejecting the graft?
Symptoms like redness, pain, light sensitivity, and blurred vision may indicate graft rejection. Contact your doctor immediately.
How will Vitamin A deficiency cause corneal ulcers?
Vitamin A deficiency causes corneal swelling and reduced sensitivity, leading to an unhealthy cornea, which results in corneal ulcers.
How is a bacterial corneal ulcer treated?
Bacterial corneal ulcers are treated with antibiotic eye drops and, in severe cases, oral antibiotics or hospitalisation.
What can I do to prevent corneal issues?
Regular eye exams, proper protection from injury, and managing underlying conditions like keratoconus can help preserve corneal health.
