The cornea is the clear, front surface of the eye and plays a vital role in sharp vision. When any of its layers the epithelium, stroma, or endothelium are affected by disease, it can result in blurred sight, eye irritation, and in serious cases, significant complications.

Cornea diseases are a major cause of global blindness, ranking second only to cataracts in their overall impact. Individuals suffering from corneal blindness are often younger than those affected by cataracts, resulting in a greater cumulative impact in terms of total blind years. Early diagnosis and expert treatment are essential for protecting vision and maintaining overall eye health. Our cornea clinic provides comprehensive care for conditions affecting the cornea and external eye. Services include treatment of ocular surface disorders, anterior segment injuries, dry eye disease, contact lens–related complications, and selected refractive surgery services.
