Comprehensive Guide to Corneal Disease
Request an Appointment
The cornea, the clear outer layer of your eye, plays a critical role in focusing light so that you see clearly. It also serves as a protective shield for the iris and the interior structures of the eye, making it essential to your overall eye health. Understanding the range of corneal diseases is important because early detection and treatment can help preserve your vision and comfort.
Core Concepts of Corneal Health
The cornea’s primary function is to refract light precisely so that images are sharply focused onto the retina. Its transparency and smooth curvature are essential to normal vision, and any changes can cause light to be scattered or distorted. Additionally, as a barrier against dust, germs, and other external elements, the cornea plays a vital role in protecting the inner eye from infections and injuries.
Common Conditions and Symptoms
Each of these conditions can affect the cornea in different ways, and early diagnosis is key to preventing further complications. For instance, even a small abrasion can progress to an ulcer if proper care is not taken, while chronic conditions require ongoing management to maintain vision quality.
