Cornea is the eye's upper most layer
that covers coloured iris and round pupil. Cornea has an important
role in clear vision.
Corneal disorders refers to various
conditions that affect cornea. If the cornea becomes affected with
disease it will result in scars or discolouration that interfere the
vision by blocking the light that enters the eye.
Cornea has the ability to heal itself
most of the diseases and if it is affected with deep injury the
healing process might take long time to heal possibly resulting in a
variety of symptoms like blurred vision, redness and corneal scarring
Corneal ulcer is an abrasion or open
sore in the upper layer of cornea and is often caused by infections
from bacteria, viruses or fungi. Common symptoms of corneal ulcer are
red eye, sever pain, swollen eyelids, blurry vision etc..It would be
better to seek the medical care when there is change in vision and
severe pain.
Treatment for corneal infections
depends on the cause and should be started soon to prevent the
scarring of cornea.
An injury to cornea is usually known as
corneal injury. This may be caused by chemical irritation, overuse of
contact lenses, reaction to contact lens solutions and scratches on
the surface of cornea.
Slight injuries and abrasions to cornea
are common though chemical burns may affect the cornea severely.
If cornea is badly affected by
chemicals or foreign agents, It is best to seek a medical treatment
without delay.
Corneal dystrophies are categories of
inherited, non -inflammatory, bilateral disorders of cornea
distinguished by corneal deposition and morphological changes. The
diseased state associated with corneal dystrophies varies widely and
if there is continuous accumulation of deposits in cornea, it may
lose its clarity that results in the decreased vision.
Treatments for this disorder may
include eye drops, lasers, ointments and corneal transplant. Corneal
transplant or keratoplasty
may be necessary for individuals with significant
symptoms of Corneal dystrophies.
Allergies affecting the eyes are common
and the most allergies are related to pollen, contact lens wear,
medications and foreign agents. The common symptoms include redness,
itchiness, watery discharge and burning.
Allergies can cause painful
inflammation which may reduce vision, produce corneal discharges and
erode the cornea.
Neera eye centre provides treatments for all corneal disorders that includes infections, injuries, corneal dystrophies allergies etc..
Although
LASIK is the best-known procedure that helps patients who suffer from
corneal disorders, there are many other types of eye surgery (PRK,
LASEK, ALK, and LTK) and before deciding for a particular procedure,
the patient must first consult an ophthalmologist in order to choose
the appropriate treatment for his or her pathology.
