Cornea Services at Eye 5 Centre: Restoring Clarity and Comfort
At Eye 5 Centre, our Cornea Services are focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing a wide range of corneal conditions with the latest medical advancements and cutting-edge technology. The cornea plays a vital role in vision, and we are committed to offering personalized, compassionate care to restore and preserve the clarity of your sight.
Comprehensive Diagnosis of Corneal Diseases:
We use advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate and treat various corneal diseases. Our detailed assessments include:
Slit-Lamp Examination: To examine the cornea for signs of damage, infection, or disease.
- Corneal Topography: Mapping the surface of the cornea to detect irregularities, such as in keratoconus or astigmatism.
- Anterior Segment Imaging: Using OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) for detailed imaging of the cornea and its surrounding structures.
- Specular Microscopy: To evaluate corneal endothelial cells, important for assessing conditions like Fuchs’ dystrophy or endothelial failure.
- Pachymetry: Measuring corneal thickness, which is essential in the diagnosis and management of conditions like glaucoma and post-operative care.
Treatment for Corneal Diseases:
At Eye 5 Centre, we offer a wide array of treatments tailored to the specific needs of our patients, including:
Medical Management: For treating conditions like corneal ulcers, dry eye syndrome, and keratoconjunctivitis. We provide anti-inflammatory medications, lubricating drops, and other specialized treatments to restore corneal health.
Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL): This minimally invasive treatment strengthens the cornea and helps halt the progression of keratoconus, preventing the need for a corneal transplant.
Corneal Transplantation: In cases of severe corneal damage or disease, we offer both Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP) and Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) to replace the damaged cornea with a donor cornea. We also provide Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) for conditions like Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy.
Astigmatic Keratotomy (AK): A surgical procedure that helps correct astigmatism by reshaping the cornea for better vision.
Amniotic Membrane Transplantation (AMT): A technique used to promote healing in cases of severe corneal damage, burns, or ulcers. This procedure accelerates recovery and reduces scarring.
Stem Cell Transplants: For treating limbal stem cell deficiency or severe chemical burns, stem cell transplants offer a chance to regenerate corneal tissue and restore vision.
Refractive Surgery and Pre-Surgery Evaluation:
For patients seeking to reduce their dependency on glasses or contact lenses, we provide detailed pre-surgical evaluations for refractive surgeries like LASIK, PRK, and SMILE. Our expert team ensures that each patient is evaluated thoroughly to determine the most suitable procedure for their specific corneal shape and vision needs.
Pterygium Surgery:
We also offer pterygium surgery, with or without autografts, for patients suffering from this benign growth of tissue on the cornea, often caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Expert Care with Compassion:
Our highly trained specialists, including Dr. Ashiesh A Amar, a leading ophthalmic surgeon, and our experienced team, provide comprehensive and compassionate care for corneal conditions. At Eye 5 Centre, we are dedicated to restoring your vision and quality of life with personalized care tailored to your needs.
Whether you’re seeking treatment for corneal diseases or refractive surgery, trust Eye 5 Centre for expert care and state-of-the-art solutions to preserve and enhance your vision.
