Corneal Disease and Treatment
What Are Corneal Diseases?
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Some of the more common symptoms of corneal disease might include blurred vision, pain in the eye, redness, extreme sensitivity to light, and the sensation of a foreign body in the eye. Early detection is one of the best ways to correct this issue and get your vision back on track.
Personalized Treatments
The kind of treatment we will provide depends on the specific type of corneal disease and its severity. In the earlier stages, treatments might include medicated eye drops, lenses to correct vision distortion or minor surgery. For some of the more advanced cases—particularly when the cornea becomes clouded or scarred—a corneal transplant may be necessary.
Innovations in Corneal Transplants
The team at St. Cloud Eye Clinic is proud to offer the latest advancements in corneal transplants. Traditional full-thickness transplants have been largely supplanted by partial-thickness procedures, which are less invasive and offer quicker recovery times. Descemet’s Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty and Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty are two procedures that replace only the damaged layer of the cornea rather than the entire cornea. These techniques can also be performed concurrently with cataract surgery, allowing you to make the most of your operations.
