Corneal Conditions We Treat
Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, causing distorted vision. At Abhinam Eye Care Center, we specialize in diagnosing and managing keratoconus through advanced imaging techniques such as corneal topography and OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography). Treatment options include specialized contact lenses, collagen cross-linking (CXL) to strengthen the cornea, and in some cases, corneal transplantation (keratoplasty).
Corneal Infections and Ulcers
Corneal infections and ulcers can result from bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infections, leading to pain, redness, and vision loss if untreated. Our team provides prompt diagnosis using slit-lamp biomicroscopy and microbiological tests to identify the causative organism. Treatment may involve topical and oral medications, including antibiotics or antifungals, and in severe cases, surgical intervention to prevent vision-threatening complications.
Corneal Dystrophies
Corneal dystrophies are genetic disorders that cause abnormal deposits or changes in the cornea, affecting its clarity and function. Abhinam Eye Care Center offers specialized care for various corneal dystrophies, such as Fuchs’ dystrophy and lattice dystrophy. Treatment options range from conservative management with medications and protective measures to surgical procedures like endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK/DSAEK) for advanced cases.
Corneal Trauma and Injuries
Corneal trauma, including abrasions, lacerations, and foreign body injuries, requires immediate attention to prevent infection and preserve vision. Our emergency services are equipped to handle corneal injuries with thorough examination, irrigation, and appropriate treatment measures. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve medications, suturing, or surgical repair to restore the integrity of the cornea.
Advanced Diagnostic and Treatment Techniques
Corneal Topography
We utilize advanced corneal topography systems to map the curvature and shape of the cornea in detail. This technology helps in diagnosing irregularities such as keratoconus, evaluating corneal astigmatism, and planning customized treatments like contact lenses or refractive surgeries.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
OCT imaging provides high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the cornea, allowing for precise evaluation of its layers and structures. This non-invasive technique aids in diagnosing and monitoring corneal diseases such as dystrophies, infections, and post-operative healing progress.
Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL)
Collagen cross-linking is a minimally invasive procedure that strengthens the corneal tissue to halt the progression of keratoconus. At Abhinam Eye Care Center, we offer epithelium-off and epithelium-on CXL techniques to stabilize the cornea and prevent further vision loss in patients with progressive keratoconus.
