The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped front part of your eye that helps focus light and protects the inner eye from dust, germs, and injury. It acts like a natural lens, providing most of the eye’s focusing power for clear vision.
Made up of five thin layers, the cornea must stay smooth and clear for proper eyesight. Any damage—like infection, injury, or disease—can lead to blurred vision or even vision loss.
If your eyes feel constantly irritated, red, or your vision seems cloudy, it could be a corneal issue. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent permanent damage.
At Raghu Kamal Eye Hospital, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of corneal disorders, including:
A progressive thinning of the cornea that causes it to bulge into a cone shape, leading to blurred or distorted vision.
A non-cancerous growth on the white part of the eye that can extend onto the cornea, causing irritation or vision issues.
Infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi that lead to redness, pain, and vision disturbances.
Painful wounds or scratches on the corneal surface, often caused by trauma, infection, or contact lens misuse.
Genetic conditions where cloudy deposits form in the cornea, affecting transparency and visual clarity.
Corneal conditions can affect anyone, but certain factors increase the risk:
Equipped with femto LASIK, image-guided surgery & HEPA OT.
Bacterial, viral (like herpes), or fungal infections can lead to keratitis or ulcers.
Conditions like keratoconus and corneal dystrophies often run in families.
Insufficient tear production leaves the cornea vulnerable to damage.
Constant rubbing weakens corneal structure, especially in keratoconus.
Certain procedures may alter the cornea or increase susceptibility to issues.
You should consult an eye specialist if you notice:
Eyes may feel too dry or produce excess tears.
A sharp, aching, or scratchy pain in the eye.
Cornea may appear swollen or lose its clarity.
Eyes may appear red and feel sore or irritated.
Bright light causes discomfort or eye pain.
Vision becomes unclear, hazy, or less sharp than usual.

Blurred vision, eye redness, pain, light sensitivity, or a gritty feeling in the eye may indicate a corneal issue. Early diagnosis is key to preventing vision loss.
Most treatments, including cross-linking and minor procedures, are painless or involve only mild discomfort. Advanced surgeries are performed under local or topical anesthesia.
We offer corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL), specialty lenses, and, in advanced cases, corneal transplants or ring implants—all under expert supervision.
Yes. With timely treatment using antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals, most infections heal without lasting damage. Delay may lead to ulcers or scarring.
A transplant is recommended when the cornea is severely damaged, scarred, or thinned and cannot be corrected with medication or lenses.
It varies. Mild cases may heal in days, while surgical treatments like transplants can take several weeks to months with regular follow-up.
