Corneal Tear Repair
Corneal tear repair is a surgical procedure used to treat tears or lacerations in the cornea, which can result from trauma, injury, or certain medical conditions. The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped surface of the eye that plays a crucial role in focusing vision. A tear in the cornea can cause pain, blurred vision, and, if left untreated, may lead to infection or permanent vision loss.
At Desai Eye Insitute, corneal tear repair is performed under sterile conditions using microsurgical techniques. The procedure typically involves the use of a fine suture to close the tear or laceration, ensuring proper alignment of the corneal edges. Local anaesthesia is administered to numb the area and ensure patient comfort. After the repair, patients are prescribed antibiotic eye drops or ointments to prevent infection and promote healing.
The procedure is essential for restoring the integrity of the cornea, relieving pain, and preventing long-term vision complications. With prompt treatment and appropriate care, the prognosis for corneal tear repair is generally excellent.
