Corneal Disorders

Corneal disorders refer to various diseases, conditions, and injuries that affect the cornea of the eye, which is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. These disorders can result in vision loss or discomfort and generally require medical attention to manage or treat. Some of the most common corneal disorders include corneal abrasion, corneal dystrophy, keratoconus, and corneal ulcer. Corneal abrasion occurs when the cornea is scratched or injured by a foreign object, such as dust or sand. Corneal dystrophies are a group of rare, genetic disorders that cause the cornea to become cloudy or opaque over time. Keratoconus is a progressive condition that causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape, leading to distorted vision. Corneal ulcers, also known as keratitis, are painful sores on the cornea that can result from bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections. Treatment for corneal disorders varies depending on the specific condition and severity. In some cases, minor injuries or abrasions may heal on their own, while more serious conditions may require medication, eye drops, or surgery to correct. Corneal transplant surgery may be necessary in cases of severe corneal dystrophy or irreparable damage to the cornea. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you experience any symptoms of a corneal disorder, such as eye pain, redness, or changes in vision. Regular eye exams can also help detect and manage corneal disorders to ensure optimal eye health and function.
