Understanding Cornea Treatment

A Comprehensive Overview

The cornea, a transparent protective layer covering the outer surface of the eye, serves not only to shield the eye from foreign particles and bacteria but also plays a crucial role in vision. It aids in focusing or refracting light as it enters the eye. Damage to the cornea caused by diseases, infections, or injuries can lead to the formation of scar tissue, which may disrupt vision by obstructing or distorting incoming light. Various conditions such as infections, degenerations, and other disorders can impact the cornea.

Numerous conditions can impact the cornea including

What are the primary corneal conditions?

Damage to the cornea caused by diseases, infections, or injuries can lead to the formation of scar tissue, which may disrupt vision by obstructing or distorting incoming light. 

Injuries

Small abrasions typically heal independently, but deeper scratches may lead to scarring and visual impairment.

Allergies

Pollen allergies can trigger allergic conjunctivitis, resulting in redness, itching, and tearing of the eyes.

Keratitis

Inflammation of the cornea, often caused by infections associated with contact lens usage.

Dry Eye

Insufficient tear production leads to discomfort and potential vision issues.

Corneal Dystrophies

These conditions, inherited within families, result in cloudy vision due to material buildup on the cornea.

Additionally

less common diseases such as ocular herpes, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, iridocorneal endothelial syndrome, and pterygium can also affect the cornea.

FAQs

Treatment methods may include removing foreign objects, using temporary bandages, prescribed medications, and avoiding contact lenses during recovery.

Minor injuries can often heal independently, but severe scratches may require medical intervention.

The cornea transplant surgery/keratoplasty at Drishti Eye Hospital is a safe treatment that takes about an hour to complete, however, the patient must remain in the operating room for two hours for a postoperative evaluation.

Corneal injuries can result in vision impairment due to scarring or light distortion.

Corneal transplant surgery or keratoplasty at Drishti Eye Hospital Chandigarh is a minimum of 35,000. Nevertheless, the cost varies according to the procedure, such as PK, DSEK, DSAEK, DMEK, DALK, SALK, and Artificial transplant.

Most corneal abrasions heal within one to three days, but severe injuries may prolong the healing process.

Various factors like smoking, diabetes, and impaired nerve function can delay corneal healing.

Some corneal transplants last forever, but others need to be replaced owing to transplant refusal. This can happen even 20 years later.  It all relies on the age and health of the donated tissue; the warranty could just expire.

The cornea transplants have a high success rate, but it may take months or even years for your vision to fully recover. Although surgical complications are uncommon, they can include infection, hemorrhage, and donor tissue rejection.

Corneal transplant surgery is a medical treatment that replaces your eye's sick or damaged cornea with a healthy, undamaged cornea. To restore normal vision, your damaged cornea will be removed and replaced with a transplant during surgery. Drishti Eye Hospital provides cornea transplant or keratoplasty surgery performed by the best cornea surgeons in Chandigarh.

Drishti Eye Hospital is Chandigarh's premier hospital for cornea transplant surgery. We have a team of top cornea doctors that has successfully treated many patients with corneal diseases.

While it's not always possible to prevent cornea problems entirely, there are measures you can take to mitigate risks:

  • Maintain cleanliness with your contact lenses.
  • Avoid sleeping with contact lenses, regardless of packaging indications.
  • Wear protective eyewear during sports activities where eye exposure to foreign objects is a possibility.
  • Seek medical attention if something becomes lodged in your eye instead of attempting self-removal.
  • Undergo regular eye examinations to detect potential eye issues early on.
  • Utilize safety goggles when operating machinery or working with chemicals, including during yard work or when using tools like hammers and saws.

A corneal scar may remain unchanged over time, especially if it was caused by an injury or illness. Some eye scars, however, might worsen over months or years if they are caused by underlying eye illnesses. It is critical to identify the origin of scarring in order to prevent it from worsening over time. To avoid further consequences of corneal scarring, it is necessary to get it treated on time.

While the cornea can heal itself, certain layers like Bowman's membrane may not regenerate, potentially leading to scarring.

My mother underwent cataract surgery at this facility. It's well-regarded by many. The team provides compassionate care to all patients. Through pre-surgery check-ups are excellent. Despite the busy environment, they allocate adequate time to each patient. The discussion and counseling about the surgery were conducted patiently, without rushing. On the day of surgery, they provided proper care. The staff is welcoming, and the doctors are highly experienced.
