Cornea
What’s the cornea?
The cornea is the clear bowel at the front and center of the eye. Its translucency permits light to pass into the eye, through the pupil, lens, and onto the retina at the back of the eye. The three major corneal layers are the Epithelium, the stroma, and endothelium.
The curve of the cornea plays an important part in refracting or bending of light. The normal cornea is smooth, clear, and tough. It helps protect the eye from infection and foreign material.
What are the different types of corneal complaints?
There are several common causes of corneal complaint, including the following
●Infections
●Bacterial, fungal, or viral keratitis, as well as parasitic conditions
●Trauma
●Scrapes or exposure to poisonous chemicals
●Dystrophies and degenerative corneal diseases
●Fuchs Dystrophy, chart- fleck- point dystrophy, or chassis corneal dystrophy
●Autoimmune diseases
●Wegener’s complaint, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus
●Vitamin A insufficiency
●Vernal and atopic keratoconjunctivitis
●Pterygium or benign or nasty cancerous growths on the eye’s face
●Ectasia (thinning)
●Keratoconus, or thinning of the cornea following refractive ray surgery
●Stevens-Johnson pattern, a rare but serious seditious response to a drug or an infection
●The cornea can also be damaged digressively by other common eye conditions similar as tear film abnormalities ( dry eye), eyelid diseases, glaucoma, and iridocorneal endothelial pattern (ICE), which may be associated with glaucoma.
Corneal Complaint Symptoms & Signs
The corneal complaint refers to problems with the cornea, the clear subcaste in the front of the eye. There are numerous types of corneal complaints with different causes.
Signs and symptoms of corneal complaint depend to some extent on the type of corneal complaint and the specific cause. Associated symptoms and signs can include
●eye pain,
●blurred vision,
●inordinate tearing,
●greenishness of the eye,
●headache, and
●extreme perceptivity to light.
What’s the treatment for corneal complaints?
Treatment is according to the individual complaint and the individual case. Treatments might include medical treatment, or surgery, depending on the condition.
Infections are treated with treated eye drops (antibiotics, antivirals, and antiparasitics) and, in some cases, oral drugs.
C3R Treatment
In the world of colorful eye treatments available in the ultramodern age, one might have come across the term known as Corneal Collagen Cross-linking with Riboflavin or the C3R eye surgery. For the uninitiated, it’s an on-invasive eye treatment that helps reduce the progression of keratoconus which is another form of eye disease in which the clear bowel on the anterior portion of the eye (cornea) bulges outward. It involves strengthening the cornea and in the early stages helps to stabilize vision.
While the treatment may not correct vision fully or exclude the need for spectacles or contact lenses fully, it helps to maintain the current position of vision and is meant to help vision from worsening. It can also help those that can not wear contact lenses to fit into them more better.
What are the advantages of C3R surgery?
One of the main benefits of Corneal Collagen Crosslinking, which has demonstrated long- term stability, is that it’s a less invasive treatment as compared to corneal transplants.
Lasik Treatment
Spectacles or connections are not the first choice for everyone, and that’s understandable. However, your eye doctor may suggest ray- supported in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery, If you want to have clearer vision without the need for corrective lenses. Rotary eye institute offers an undoubted solution for the patient whether an individual is advisable for undergoing lasik or Not. Wide variety of Instruments and Technology for predicting the best results in lasik patients.
