Understanding the Cornea

What is the Cornea?

The cornea is the transparent front layer of the eye that helps focus light onto the retina, allowing you to see clearly. Any damage, infection, thinning, or scarring of the cornea can significantly reduce vision quality and cause discomfort.

Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to protect vision and prevent complications. If you notice persistent redness, pain, or blurred vision, a cornea evaluation can help identify the underlying cause.

Common Signs of Corneal Problems

  • Persistent eye redness or irritation
  • Blurred or distorted vision
  • Frequent changes in glasses power
  • Glare, halos, or difficulty driving at night
  • Eye pain, watering, or light sensitivity
  • History of eye injury or infection
