Information About Cornea Procedures

The cornea is the transparent, rounded outer structure of the eye. Its primary function is to focus light on the retina and encourage clear vision.

Phototherapeutic keratectomy is an advanced laser eye surgery that is performed to address and remove irregularities on the cornea, like blurry spots.

Keratoconus is a disease that causes the cornea (the clear outer layer of the eye) to become misshapen and oblong, which results in distorted vision.

In corneal cross-linking (CXL), riboflavin and ultraviolet light are used to strengthen corneal tissue weakened by eye conditions like keratoconus.

Corneal transplants are highly effective surgical procedures that utilize donor tissue to replace a damaged or diseased cornea or epithelial layer.
