CORNEA

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. The cornea, with the anterior chamber and lens, refracts light, with the cornea accounting for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power. In humans, the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 dioptres.

DISORDERS OF THE CORNEA:

Ocular Surface Disorders:

Diseases affecting the ocular surface result in non-specific symptoms and can range from a tired or itching eye to diminished vision in severe cases. The common conditions are:

• Dry Eye
• Corneal diseases with stem-cell deficiency
• Pterygium and other conjunctival disorders
• Ocular sensitivity and Neurotrophic Keratopathy
• Ocular allergic diseases
• Eyelid margin diseases such as Blepharitis and Meibomitis 

CORNEAL INFECTIONS:
Mobirise

Infections must be quickly and effectively tackled in order to minimize visual loss, relieve pain, eliminate the infectious agent, and minimize structural damage to the cornea and the other ocular structures. The common conditions are:
- Conjunctivitis
- Corneal ulcer
- Sclera ulcer

CORNEAL DYSTROPHY :

Corneal dystrophy is a condition in which one or more parts of the cornea lose their normal clarity. There are over 20 corneal dystrophies that affect all parts of the cornea. Some cause severe visual impairment while a few cause no vision problem and are discovered during a routine eye examination. Other dystrophies may cause repeated episodes of pain without leading to permanent loss of vision. Some of the most common corneal dystrophies include :

1. Fuchs' dystrophy
2. Lattice dystrophy
3. Map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy 

CORNEAL ECTATIC DISORDERS :

These disorders are characterized by a progressive change in the shape of the cornea that results in a decrease in vision. Contact lenses are of benefit and obviate the need for surgery in most cases. However, a small portion of patients reach the point where they need a cornea transplant. Some of the common diseases include :

1. Keratoconus
2. Pellucid marginal degeneration
3. Terriens marginal degeneration 

CORNEAL INJURIES :

Injuries may result from severe blunt trauma or any kind of penetrating injury. The aim is to restore and maintain the integrity of the globe, avoid further intraocular damage and prevent permanent corneal scarring and astigmatism.

Surgical facilities offered by the cornea service :

A)  CORNEAL TRANSPLANT :
 Corneal transplantation which involves replacing a diseased or scarred cornea with a new one. In corneal transplant surgery the surgeon removes the central portion of the cloudy cornea and replaces it with a clear cornea.
 The chances of success of this operation have risen dramatically because of technological advances. Corneal transplantation has restored sight to many, who a generation ago would have been blinded permanently by corneal injury, infection, or inherited corneal diseases or degeneration.
 Recent modified forms of corneal transplant called Lamellar Keratoplasty are also performed. This involves removing only the partial thickness of the cornea that is diseased leaving the rest of the healthy cornea undisturbed.
               Lamellar Keratoplasty is of two types : (1) Deep anterior lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) ,  (2) Deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (DLEK) 

B) Amniotic Membrane Transplantation.

C) Pterygium surgeries.
 
D) Limbal Stem Cell Transplantation.

E) Patch Grafts- Corneal and scleral patch grafts .

E) Corneal perforation repair with anterior segment reconstruction.
