Cornea and External Diseases

Corneal and external diseases refer to conditions that affect the outer layers of the eye, including the cornea, conjunctiva, and eyelids. Common conditions include keratoconus, corneal infections, dry eye syndrome, and conjunctivitis. Treatment varies depending on the condition and may include medical management, such as prescribed eye drops, and surgical options like corneal transplants or collagen cross-linking. In cases of infection, antibiotics or antiviral medications may be required. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing vision loss and ensuring the long-term health of the eye. Regular follow-up care is often essential for managing these conditions effectively.
