Cornea Services
The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped front layer of the eye that plays a vital role in focusing light onto the retina, enabling sharp and clear vision. Any damage, infection, swelling, or irregularity in the cornea can lead to blurred vision, discomfort, tearing, light sensitivity, and in severe cases, permanent vision loss. Corneal problems can arise from infections, injuries, degenerative conditions, or inherited disorders, making early diagnosis and treatment essential. Cornea services encompass a wide range of interventions, including medical management, laser treatments, and surgical procedures to address conditions such as keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, corneal scars, dry eye disease, infections, and traumatic injuries. Prompt and accurate care helps preserve vision, relieve discomfort, and improve overall eye health.
At Aahan EyePlus, our cornea specialists provide comprehensive, patient-focused care using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment such as corneal topography, pachymetry, and anterior segment OCT to evaluate corneal structure and function in detail. Treatment plans are personalised based on the patient’s condition, age, lifestyle, and visual needs. Medical therapies may include medications, lubricating eye drops, or therapeutic contact lenses, while advanced surgical options include corneal transplant, keratoplasty, and minimally invasive procedures for structural correction. Every intervention is aimed at restoring corneal clarity, improving comfort, and protecting long-term vision. With precise diagnostics, innovative treatments, and experienced surgeons, Aahan EyePlus ensures patients receive the highest standard of corneal care to maintain healthy, clear, and comfortable vision throughout life.
What Happens During Corneal Surgery?
Corneal surgery is tailored to the specific condition affecting the cornea, with common procedures including corneal transplantation, collagen cross-linking for keratoconus, pterygium removal, and advanced lamellar surgeries. These procedures are designed to repair, reshape, or replace damaged corneal tissue with precision, restoring clarity and improving vision. In corneal transplant surgeries, whenever possible, only the diseased portion of the cornea is replaced rather than the full thickness. This approach, known as partial-thickness or lamellar transplant, promotes faster healing, reduces complications, and often results in better visual outcomes compared to full-thickness replacements.
During surgery, the eye is carefully numbed with local or topical anaesthesia to ensure the patient remains comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure. The affected corneal tissue is gently removed or reshaped, and if a transplant is required, a clear donor cornea is meticulously placed and secured using ultra-fine sutures or advanced laser-based techniques. Most corneal surgeries are minimally invasive and performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day. Following the procedure, protective eye drops, medications, and scheduled follow-up visits are critical for monitoring healing, preventing infection, and ensuring optimal vision restoration. With modern techniques and expert surgical care, corneal surgery at Aahan EyePlus effectively restores clarity, comfort, and long-term visual health.
Benefits of Cornea Services
Cornea services provide significant benefits by improving visual clarity and restoring the eye’s natural focusing ability. Patients experience sharper, more comfortable vision with reduced glare, distortion, or blurriness. Treatment alleviates pain, irritation, and discomfort caused by corneal conditions while promoting overall eye health. Advanced procedures prevent disease progression, reduce the risk of complications, and preserve long-term sight. By restoring clear vision and comfort, cornea care significantly enhances daily functioning, independence, and quality of life.
