Cornea Surgery
Overview
The cornea is the transparent front layer of the eye that plays a crucial role in focusing vision. When the cornea becomes damaged, scarred, infected, or misshapen, it can lead to blurred vision or even vision loss. Corneal surgery involves a range of procedures aimed at restoring vision, relieving pain, and improving the appearance of a diseased or damaged cornea.
