Cornea services are specialized eye treatment services that focus on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of conditions related to the cornea, which is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. The cornea plays a crucial role in vision, as it helps to refract light and focus it onto the retina.
Cornea services typically include diagnostic testing, such as corneal topography, pachymetry, and specular microscopy, to assess the health and function of the cornea. Treatment options may include medications, such as antibiotics, antivirals, or steroids, to treat infections or inflammation of the cornea. Other treatments may include surgical interventions, such as corneal transplant or corneal collagen cross-linking, to repair corneal damage and improve vision.
