Cornea Surgery in Ghatkopar - Mumbaieyecare

  

The cornea is made up of three major components.

  • Epithelium – Cornea has numerous nerve endings, that’s why you experience pain while rubbing your eyes. It absorbs oxygen and nutrients from the tears. Epithelium is connected with stroma with the help of basement membrane.
  • Stroma – The stroma is the thickest part of the cornea and is made up of collagen and water. Collagen fives elasticity and keeps cornea firm. These collagen fibres are arranged in strictly in a regular, geometric fashion. This arrangement is responsible for clear cornea, while in case of trauma, collagen fibres laid down in repair, often leads to cloudy cornea. Below stroma is the Descemet’s membrane, which connects it with endothelium.
  • Endothelium - The innermost layer of the cornea is made up of endothelium. Function of endothelium is to maintain fluid balance by acting as a pump, expelling excess water as it is absorbed into the stroma. Without this specialized function, the stroma could become waterlogged and hazy and opaque in appearance, also reducing vision.

Keratoconus Treatment In Ghatkopar

  Keratoconus is a vision disorder that occurs when the normally round cornea (the front part of the eye) becomes thin and irregular (cone) shaped. This abnormal shape prevents the light entering the eye from being focused correctly on the   retina   and causes distortion of vision. It is characterized by para-central corneal thinning and ectasia so that the cornea takes the shape of a cone. Visual loss occurs primarily from myopia and irregular astigmatism and secondarily from corneal scarring.   Keratoconus   often begins at puberty and most often is seen in teenagers or young adults. Keratoconus  causes distorted vision that cannot be corrected with eyeglasses. Tiny fibers of protein in your eye called collagen help hold your cornea in place. When these fibers get weak, they can’t hold their shape. Your cornea gets more and more cone-like. It happens when you don’t have enough protective antioxidants in your cornea. Its cells produce harmful byproducts, ...

Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treatment In Ghatkopar - Mumbaieyecare

  Human eye has various important parts like Cornea, Pupil, Iris, Lens and   Retina . The macula is located in the center of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina instantly converts light, or an image, into electrical impulses. The   retina   then sends these impulses, or nerve signals, to the brain. When the cells of the macula deteriorate, images are not received correctly. In early stages, macular degeneration does not affect vision. Later, if the disease progresses, people experience wavy or blurred vision, and, if the condition continues to worsen, central vision may be completely lost. People with very advanced macular degeneration are considered legally blind.   Macular Degeneration   is the leading cause of vision loss, more than   cataracts   and   glaucoma   combined. Macular degeneration is classified as: Dry Age related Macular Degeneration Wet Age related Macular Degeneration. Pathophysiol...
