Cornea Surgery

Restore Clear Vision: Cornea Treatments at Raghunath Netralaya, Mumbai

The cornea is the transparent, circular front part of the eye that acts as a lens, focusing light rays into the eye. Any damage or injury to this delicate region can sometimes lead to permanent loss of corneal transparency or clouding severely impairing vision. At Raghunath Netralaya, we understand the importance of preserving corneal health and offer comprehensive cornea treatment solutions.

What Is A Corneal Disease And What Causes It?

Corneal diseases can result from various factors, including malnutrition, vitamin A deficiency, infections, and conditions like keratoconus and corneal degeneration. Losing corneal transparency prevents light from entering the eye, leading to reduced vision or, in severe cases, complete vision loss.

Common corneal disorders include:

• Pterygium
• Keratoconus
• Corneal dystrophy
• Corneal tears
• Corneal edema
• Infective keratitis
• Contact lens-related keratitis
• Allergic keratoconjunctivitis

What Are The Symptoms Of Corneal Diseases?

Symptoms can change depending on the specific condition, but some common signs include:

• Blurred or distorted vision
• Eye pain or discomfort
• Sensitivity to light
• Redness or inflammation
• Foreign body sensation
• Excessive tearing

For conditions like pterygium, additional symptoms may include burning, a gritty feeling, itching, and a foreign body sensation in the eye.

How Is Corneal Disease Diagnosed At Raghunath Netralaya?

Our experienced ophthalmologists conduct comprehensive eye examinations, utilizing advanced diagnostic techniques to assess your cornea's condition accurately. These may include:

• Slit-lamp examination
• Corneal topography
• Pachymetry (corneal thickness measurement)
• Imaging tests (e.g., OCT, confocal microscopy)

Our specialists can recommend the most appropriate treatment plan based on the diagnosis.

What Are The Treatment Options For Corneal Diseases?

Treatment options can change on the specific condition and its severity. Prescription eye drops or ointments may be effective in some cases. However, surgical intervention may be necessary for more severe or advanced cases.

At Raghunath Netralaya, we offer a range of corneal treatment procedures, including:

• Pterygium surgery
• Corneal transplantation (keratoplasty)
• Corneal collagen cross-linking for keratoconus
• Amniotic membrane transplantation

How Is Cornea Transplant Performed At Raghunath Netralaya?

For cases where the cornea has sustained significant damage or scarring, a cornea transplant (keratoplasty) may be recommended. The diseased or damaged cornea is replaced with a healthy donor cornea during this procedure.

Our experienced surgeons perform various types of cornea transplants, including:

• Penetrating keratoplasty (full-thickness cornea transplant)
• Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (partial-thickness cornea transplant)
• Endothelial keratoplasty (selective replacement of the cornea's innermost layer)

We use the latest surgical techniques and follow stringent safety protocols to ensure successful transplantation and optimal visual outcomes.
