Cornea disorders

Cornea disorders affect the transparent front part of the eye, which helps focus light and protect deeper structures. Common issues include keratitis (inflammation often from infection), corneal dystrophies (genetic changes leading to clouding), and corneal abrasions (scratches). Symptoms may include blurred vision, redness, pain, or sensitivity to light. Treatment varies from eye drops and medication to surgery, depending on severity. Regular eye exams and prompt attention to symptoms are essential for maintaining eye health and preventing complications.
