Cornea and Keratoconus Services at Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital
At Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital, we offer specialized care for corneal diseases, including advanced management of keratoconus. Our experienced team of cornea specialists is dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and managing corneal conditions to preserve and restore vision.
Understanding the Cornea
The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface of the eye that helps focus light for clear vision. Damage or disease affecting the cornea can significantly impair vision and overall eye health. Common conditions include infections, injuries, dry eye, and degenerative diseases like keratoconus.
What is a Kerotoconus?
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea thins and bulges outward into a cone-like shape, causing distorted vision. It often begins in adolescence or early adulthood and may worsen over time. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to slow its progression and maintain visual quality.
