Cornea Treatment at Kataria Eye and ENT Hospital, Jalandhar

Expert Care for Corneal Disorders

At Kataria Eye and ENT Hospital, Jalandhar, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive and advanced treatment for various corneal disorders. The cornea is a vital part of the eye, responsible for focusing light onto the retina and protecting the inner structures of the eye. Any issues with the cornea can significantly affect vision and overall eye health. Our experienced ophthalmologists utilize state-of-the-art technology and techniques to diagnose and treat corneal conditions, ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients.

Common Corneal Disorders We Treat

Corneal disorders can arise from various causes, including infections, injuries, genetic conditions, and underlying diseases. Some common corneal conditions include:

• Keratoconus: A progressive condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, leading to distorted vision.
• Corneal Dystrophies: A group of genetic disorders that cause abnormal deposits in the cornea, affecting clarity and vision.
• Corneal Infections (Keratitis): Infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi that can lead to pain, redness, and vision loss if untreated.
• Corneal Scarring: Scars on the cornea due to injury, infection, or surgery, which can impair vision.
• Pterygium: A growth of tissue on the conjunctiva that can extend onto the cornea, causing discomfort and vision issues.

Advanced Diagnostic Techniques

At Kataria Eye and ENT Hospital, we use advanced diagnostic tools to accurately assess corneal conditions. Our comprehensive eye examinations include:

• Corneal Topography: Mapping the curvature of the cornea to diagnose conditions like keratoconus and irregular astigmatism.
• Pachymetry: Measuring the thickness of the cornea to evaluate corneal health and assess the risk of complications.
• Slit Lamp Examination: A detailed examination of the front structures of the eye, including the cornea, to identify any abnormalities or diseases.

Treatment Options for Corneal Disorders

Our team offers a variety of treatment options based on the specific corneal condition and its severity:

• Medical Management: Prescription medications, including antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drops, to treat infections and reduce inflammation.
• Contact Lenses: Specially designed contact lenses, such as scleral lenses, to improve vision in patients with irregular corneas or keratoconus.
• Corneal Cross-Linking: A minimally invasive procedure that strengthens corneal tissue to halt the progression of keratoconus.
• Corneal Transplantation: For severe corneal diseases or damage, we offer lamellar or penetrating keratoplasty to replace the affected cornea with healthy donor tissue.
