Corneal Clinic & Transplant

Corneal Clinic and Transplant

The cornea is the transparent outer layer that covers the front of the eye, which together with the sclera (the thick, white part of your eye) and the conjunctiva (thin tissue that covers the sclera) protects your eye from damage. The eyelids function to protect these surface structures of your eye and to keep them moist each time you blink.

Treatment of Corneal Conditions
The cornea specialists at City Eye Hospital provide advanced medical and surgical treatment for all conditions and disorders of the cornea.
Treatments for corneal conditions may comprise oral medications or surgical intervention. We also provide corneal transplants when it is required to improve your vision.

Conditions Treated and Services Offered Include:

• Crosslinking: an outpatient and minimally invasive treatment that strengthens the cornea
• Corneal abrasions: a scratch that can cause a lot of pain, redness, light sensitivity, tearing, and lid swelling
• Dry eye - reduced tear production or tear quality
• Recurrent corneal erosion: episodes of eye pain often in the middle of the night or upon waking up
• Corneal dystrophies: an inherited condition, which can occur early in life or much later
• Conjunctivitis: an inflammation of the clear skin that covers the white part of the eye and the inside surface of the eyelids
