Understanding Corneal Disorders
Learn about conditions affecting the clear front surface of your eye
What Are Corneal Disorders?
The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped front surface of your eye. It provides most of your eye's focusing power and must remain clear and properly shaped for good vision. Corneal disorders affect the shape, clarity, or integrity of the cornea.
These conditions can be genetic, degenerative, infectious, or traumatic. Early detection and treatment are crucial to preserve vision and prevent complications like scarring or vision loss.
Common Conditions:
- Keratoconus - progressive thinning and bulging
- Corneal dystrophies - inherited clouding conditions
- Infections and ulcers - requiring urgent treatment
