Corneal Disorders
Corneal disorders refer to a range of conditions that affect the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye. These disorders can lead to symptoms such as blurred vision, pain, and sensitivity to light. Common types include keratoconus, where the cornea thins and bulges, and corneal dystrophies, which are genetic conditions that cause clouding of the cornea.
Treatment options for corneal disorders vary depending on the specific condition. They may include the use of glasses or contact lenses for vision correction, medications to reduce inflammation, or surgical procedures like corneal transplants to restore clarity and function.
