The cornea is the clear front surface of the eye. It lies directly in front of the iris and pupil, and it allows light to enter the eye. Viewed from the front of the eye, the cornea appears slightly wider than it is tall.
The Department specializes in the treatment of the entire range of corneal disorders and infections. We also do Corneal Transplants – tissues which are collected by our Eye Bank as well as other good quality tissues are received from Other Eye Banks for the patient to not suffer.
A transplant is the replacement of damaged or diseased tissues or organs with healthy tissues or organs. In a corneal transplant, the cloudy or warped cornea is replaced with a healthy cornea. If the new cornea heals without problems, there may be tremendous improvement in vision.
