The cornea plays a vital role in vision, acting as the eye’s outermost layer and the first structure to focus incoming light. Any damage, infection, or irregularity in the cornea can lead to corneal diseases, significantly impairing one’s sight and quality of life. At SAKINA EYE HOSPITAL, ATTAPUR, HYDERABAD, our expert ophthalmologists are dedicated to diagnosing and treating various corneal conditions with advanced technology and compassionate care.
Corneal diseases are a broad group of disorders affecting the clarity, shape, or health of the cornea. Some of the most common include keratoconus, corneal ulcers, Fuchs’ dystrophy, and dry eye syndrome. These conditions can range from mild irritations to severe complications requiring surgical intervention.
The symptoms of corneal diseases often start subtly and may include blurred or distorted vision, eye redness, sensitivity to light, excessive tearing, or the sensation of having something in the eye. As the condition progresses, vision may become more compromised, and everyday tasks such as reading or driving can become difficult.
At SAKINA EYE HOSPITAL, ATTAPUR, HYDERABAD, our cornea specialists conduct comprehensive eye exams using tools like corneal topography, slit-lamp examination, and OCT imaging to accurately diagnose the issue. Understanding the causes of corneal diseases is crucial for prevention and effective treatment. These causes include infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal), injury, prolonged contact lens use, genetic disorders, or autoimmune conditions.
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the disease. Mild infections or inflammations can often be treated with antibiotic or anti-inflammatory eye drops. In more advanced cases, procedures like corneal cross-linking, corneal transplantation, or laser therapy may be required. SAKINA EYE HOSPITAL, ATTAPUR, HYDERABAD is equipped to perform both partial and full-thickness corneal transplants, ensuring patients receive the best possible care.
Preventive care is equally important. Patients are encouraged to maintain good eye hygiene, follow proper contact lens care routines, wear protective eyewear, and seek prompt medical attention for any eye discomfort. Regular eye check-ups can help detect issues early before they progress into more serious conditions.
