Cornea or Keratoconus Treatment in Mumbai

What is Cornea?

Cornea is a transparent first coat of the eye responsible for two-thirds of the eye’s focusing power. It covers the front of the eye like a watch-glass and is a window through which rays of light enter the eye. It also helps shield the eye from germs, dust and other harmful pollutants.

Three most important therapies related to cornea are –

• Contact lens – they are fitted over the cornea and substitute glasses
• LASIK – reshaping of cornea and permanent removal of glasses

Corneal transplant – replacing diseased cornea with healthy donor cornea and aid in vision
