Cornea

The cornea is the transparent part at the front of the eye that allows light and images to enter, forming vision. Corneal issues can cause pain, redness, and blurred vision. One common condition is keratoconus, where the cornea becomes cone-shaped, affecting clarity.

Keratoconus Treatments at PAKY Eye Care:

Corneal Cross-Linking: In early stages, Vitamin B2 is applied with UV light to strengthen the cornea and prevent further distortion.
Corneal Transplant: For advanced cases, involving full or partial corneal replacement.
