The cornea is the eye's clear front window. When disease or injury affects it, our team provides diagnosis, medical management, and coordination of care.
We diagnose and treat a wide range of corneal conditions, including keratoconus, Fuchs’ dystrophy, infections and ulcers, scarring, and trauma. Early treatment can preserve vision and, in many cases, avoid the need for surgery.
For progressive thinning and steepening of the cornea, we offer specialty contact lenses and, when appropriate, surgical options to stabilize and improve vision.
We diagnose and monitor keratoconus and fit specialty contact lenses, including corneal and scleral rigid gas permeable designs, to restore clear, comfortable vision.
A pterygium is a growth on the surface of the eye that can affect vision and comfort. We remove it surgically when treatment is warranted.
The cornea is the smooth, clear window on the front part of the eye. If there is any damage to this window, you may not be able to see clearly. Diseases such as keratoconus, Fuch’s dystrophy, infections such as ulcers, herpes, or shingles, or trauma/injury can lead to damage of the cornea. Many of these situations require special types of hard contact lenses to improve your vision. When this window becomes scarred, swollen, or cloudy, vision can be affected. We diagnose and manage these conditions, and coordinate referral to a corneal specialist when surgical treatment is needed.
Pterygium – a growth of tissue that begins to grow over the surface of the cornea. This is most often believed to be caused by ultraviolet light from the sun, so it is important to wear sunglasses for protection.
