Quick Overview
The cornea is the clear front layer of the eye. Cornea disease can cause blurred vision, pain, watering, redness, or whitening/scar. Many conditions are treatable—some need medicines, specialized lenses, or corneal transplant for vision restoration.
Sudden pain, redness, white spot, injury, or rapid vision drop can be urgent—please seek cornea evaluation quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a corneal transplant?
A corneal transplant replaces diseased or scarred corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue to restore clarity and vision.
Which transplant is better: DSEK, DMEK or DALK?
It depends on which cornea layer is affected. Endothelial problems may need DSEK/DMEK; keratoconus/scars may need DALK. A cornea specialist decides after examination.
Is keratoconus treatable without transplant?
Many keratoconus cases are managed with glasses, specialty lenses, and C3R (cross-linking) to slow progression. Some advanced cases may need transplant.
When is corneal ulcer an emergency?
If you have severe pain, redness, light sensitivity, discharge, or a white spot, it may be an ulcer and needs urgent evaluation to prevent scarring.
