CORNEA TREATMENT

Your Destination for Comprehensive Cornea Care

At Navjeevan Hospital, we understand the critical importance of healthy eyesight and the vital role that the cornea plays in maintaining clear vision. Our dedicated Cornea Services department is committed to providing state-of-the-art medical care for a wide range of corneal conditions, from the correction of corneal ulcers to advanced keratoconus treatment and innovative solutions like scleral contact lenses.

What is the Cornea?

The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of your eye. It acts as a protective barrier and plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the retina, enabling you to see clearly. Various factors, including injuries, infections, and genetic conditions, can affect the health and function of the cornea, leading to vision problems that require specialized treatment.

Correction of Corneal Ulcers:

Corneal ulcers are open sores on the cornea that can result from infections, trauma, or underlying medical conditions. These ulcers can cause pain, redness, and vision disturbances, requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications. At Navjeevan Hospital, our experienced ophthalmologists utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to identify corneal ulcers and tailor treatment plans based on the underlying cause and severity of the condition.

Treatment options for corneal ulcers may include:

Medication: Depending on the type of infection or inflammation, eye drops, ointments, or oral medications may be prescribed to control the infection, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Corneal Debridement: In cases where the ulcer is large or deep, surgical debridement may be necessary to remove damaged tissue and facilitate healing.

Our expert team closely monitors patients throughout the treatment process, ensuring optimal outcomes and restoring vision whenever possible.

Keratoconus Treatment:

Keratoconus is a progressive eye disorder characterized by the thinning and bulging of the cornea into a cone shape, leading to distorted vision, astigmatism, and sensitivity to light. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to managing keratoconus effectively and preserving vision. Navjeevan Hospital offers comprehensive keratoconus treatment options, including:

Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL): This minimally invasive procedure involves the application of riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops followed by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. CXL strengthens the corneal collagen fibers, stabilizing the cornea and slowing the progression of keratoconus.
Customized Contact Lenses: Specialized contact lenses, such as rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses or hybrid lenses, can improve vision by compensating for corneal irregularities caused by keratoconus. Our optometrists specialize in fitting custom lenses for optimal comfort and visual acuity.
Intacs Insertion: In some cases, intracorneal ring segments (Intacs) may be implanted in the cornea to reshape its curvature and improve vision quality.

By offering a range of keratoconus treatments, Navjeevan Hospital empowers patients to manage their condition effectively and enjoy improved vision and quality of life.

Scleral Contact Lenses:

Scleral contact lenses are a revolutionary option for patients with corneal irregularities, including those with keratoconus, corneal scarring, or dry eye syndrome. Unlike traditional contact lenses that rest on the cornea, scleral lenses vault over the entire corneal surface, resting on the sclera (white part of the eye). This design provides several benefits:

Improved Comfort: Scleral lenses are highly comfortable, as they do not directly touch the sensitive corneal tissue. They also retain a layer of fluid that helps keep the cornea hydrated, making them ideal for dry eye patients.
Sharper Vision: By masking corneal irregularities, scleral lenses can correct vision more effectively than standard contact lenses, leading to clearer and sharper vision.
Protection: Scleral lenses provide a protective barrier for the cornea, shielding it from environmental factors and reducing the risk of irritation or damage.

At Navjeevan Hospital, our optometrists specialize in fitting scleral contact lenses, ensuring optimal fit, comfort, and visual outcomes for our patients.

Conclusion:

Navjeevan Hospital’s Cornea Services encompass a comprehensive approach to diagnosing, treating, and managing a wide range of corneal conditions. From correcting corneal ulcers and providing advanced keratoconus treatments to offering innovative solutions like scleral contact lenses, our goal is to restore and preserve vision while enhancing overall eye health.
