corneal examination

A corneal examination involves a detailed assessment of the clear, front surface of your eye called the cornea. An eye doctor uses special tools to examine its shape, clarity, and health, checking for issues like scratches, scars, infections, or abnormal growths. Tests may include shining a light or using a microscope to observe the cornea up close and sometimes measuring its thickness. This examination helps diagnose conditions, determine appropriate treatments, and ensure your eyes remain healthy. It is a safe, non-invasive process critical for understanding and maintaining your visual health.
