Corneal Infections and Injury Care

Corneal infections pose the major threat to the health of cornea in our environment. It is the leading cause of damage to cornea, resulting in corneal blindness. Many microorganisms can cause corneal ulcer, of which main agents are the bacteria and fungi. Virus is also well known to cause corneal infections. In corneal infection, there will be pain, reduction in vision and watering or discharge from the eye. Treatment is mainly with medication in the form of eye drops. Some cases that do not heal with medicines may require surgery – corneal transplantation for proper healing. Injuries are very common and they can result from minor to very serious damage to cornea, it is important to identify the extent of injury and treat them immediately. The outcome of corneal injury improves with early detection and treatment.

Treatment for Refractive Errors

Eye Glasses or Contact Lenses

Eye glasses and contact lenses are common solutions for correcting refractive errors. They refocus light rays onto the retina, addressing imperfections in the eye’s shape, and improving vision for conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Refractive Surgery

Refractive surgery aims to reduce reliance on glasses or contact lenses by improving vision. These procedures reshape the cornea, the eye’s front surface, to enhance its focusing ability, offering an effective option for correcting vision problems and improving clarity.

LASIK

LASIK is a widely used refractive surgery that reduces dependence on glasses or contact lenses by reshaping the cornea with a laser. This procedure corrects vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, offering quick recovery and minimal discomfort.
