Cornea & External Eye

Cornea & External Eye — Clarity Starts at the Front of the Eye

The cornea is the transparent front surface of the eye responsible for most of the eye's focusing power. Corneal diseases can severely impair vision. Surya Eye Care Center offers comprehensive corneal diagnosis, medical treatment, and surgical intervention.

Corneal Conditions We Treat

We treat keratoconus, corneal ulcers, bullous keratopathy, dry eye disease, pterygium, corneal infections (bacterial, fungal, viral), Fuchs dystrophy, and corneal scarring.

  • Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK) — Full-thickness corneal transplant
  • DALK / DSAEK — Selective layer corneal transplants
  • Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL) — Halts keratoconus progression
  • Pterygium Excision with Graft — Removal with low recurrence technique
  • Dry Eye Management — Punctal plugs, lubricants, IPL therapy
  • Corneal Topography (Atlas 9000, Zeiss) — Detailed corneal mapping

Corneal Diagnosis & Treatment

Corneal disease management starts with accurate topography and slit-lamp biomicroscopy, followed by appropriate medical or surgical treatment.

Corneal Care Pathway

Step 1: Slit-Lamp Examination — Step 2: Corneal Topography & Pachymetry — Step 3: Microbiological Workup (if infection) — Step 4: Medical / Laser / Surgical Treatment — Step 5: Long-term follow-up

Expected Outcomes

Corneal transplant success rates are high with modern techniques. CXL effectively halts keratoconus in 95%+ of cases. Early treatment of corneal ulcers prevents permanent scarring.
