What is Cornea ?

A cornea transplant can restore vision, reduce pain, and improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea. Most cornea transplant procedures are successful. But cornea transplant carries a small risk of complications, such as rejection of the donor cornea.

Corneal infections

Infections or immune reactions in the cornea are referred to as “Keratitis”. When the infection penetrates to cause breakdown of the intact layers of cornea of eye, it is often referred to as a “CORNEAL ULCER”.

These are usually accompanied by loss/reduction of transparency of the cornea, and hence the primary complaint of a patient presenting with central keratitis would be blurring of vision.

In the case of infections, it tends to take longer time to heal. Appropriate anti-infectives are given in the form of drops or oral medications, to arrest the infectious agent in its early stages.

Occasionally, the keratitis (infection of cornea of eye) may heal with the formation of a scar which may cause persistent hazy vision. Depending on the amount of vision affected, extreme cases may even require a corneal transplant.
