About Cornea
Cornea is the clear, transparent tissue covering the front of the eye. It serves as a window to allow light to enter the eye.

Infections-Fungal, Viral and Protozoal
Recalcitrant Allergic Conditions
Keratconus management from contact lens fitting to Collagen Cross Linking
Chemical/Mechanical /Thermal injuries treatment-Surgical and Medical Management
Keratoconus is a disease where the cornea becomes thinner than normal, and subsequently starts bulging forward. This causes a blurring of visual images and is a known progressive condition. This is caused due to childhood eye allergy and rubbing habit.
Kerotometry is a diagnostic instrument for measuring the curvature of the anterior surface of the cornea, for assessing the extent and axis of astigmatism.
Corneal collagen cross-linking is a technique which uses UV light and a photo-sensitizer to strengthen chemical bonds in the cornea. The goal of the treatment is to halt progressive and irregular changes in corneal shape.
C3R a procedure that aims to stabilize a keratoconic cornea. Kerarings are implantable rings inserted into the cornea to flatten the corneal cone, and helps to improve vision of the patient.
