Cornea Clinic
The Cornea is the clear, transparent front surface of the eye, functioning much like the windshield of a car or aircraft. Its clarity and integrity are essential for good vision.
The cornea can be affected by infections, injuries, degenerative conditions, congenital abnormalities, and systemic diseases, all of which can significantly impact visual quality.
