What Is the Cornea?
The cornea is composed of several layers, each playing a crucial role in maintaining the eye’s function and clarity. It is responsible for around 70% of the eye's focusing power, making it essential for clear vision. When the cornea becomes damaged due to injury, infection, or diseases such as keratoconus, vision can become blurry or distorted.
Corneal Transplantation: Restoring Clear Vision
For individuals suffering from corneal diseases or damage, corneal transplantation (also known as corneal grafting) is often the best solution. This surgical procedure involves replacing a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one from a donor. At ASG Eye Hospital, we specialize in corneal transplantation, using state-of-the-art techniques to ensure successful outcomes. Our highly skilled ophthalmologists work closely with patients to determine the best treatment approach, taking into account the severity of the condition and the patient’s overall eye health.
Keratoconus Treatment: A Specialized Approach
Keratoconus is a progressive condition in which the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, causing vision distortion. It often begins in the late teens or early twenties and can worsen over time if left untreated. ASG Eye Hospital offers advanced keratoconus treatment options, including cross-linking therapy, a procedure that strengthens the corneal tissue and halts the progression of the disease. For patients with advanced keratoconus, corneal transplantation may be recommended to restore vision.
