Corneal Disorders
What Are Corneal Disorders?
The cornea, a transparent layer at the front of your eye, is essential for refracting light accurately onto the retina. Various issues like diseases, disorders, injuries, ulcers, the removal of foreign bodies, and scarring can compromise its function, leading to discomfort and potentially impacting your eye health.
At IC Laser Eye Care, we specialize in identifying and managing these corneal conditions. If you’re experiencing any discomfort or wish to discuss your eye health, we encourage you to contact us at one of our nearby locations in Bensalem, PA, Philadelphia, PA, or Hamilton, NJ, or at Suburban Eye Associates in Huntingdon Valley, PA to make an appointment with a member of our experienced team.
How Are Corneal Disorders Treated?
Corneal diseases and disorders are broadly grouped into five primary types: allergies, infections, eye trauma, dry eye syndrome, and corneal dystrophies. Factors such as genetics, environmental influences, certain medications, lifestyle habits, workplace exposures, or preexisting health conditions can elevate the risk of developing these corneal issues. If it is found that you have potential corneal problems, a thorough eye examination or diagnostic procedures will be conducted to determine the most effective treatment plan. Depending on the specific condition, treatment options might encompass specialized eye drops, artificial corneas, laser therapy, or even corneal transplant surgery.
