Expert Treatment for Corneal Conditions
The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of your eye that plays a crucial role in focusing light and helping you see clearly. When the cornea becomes damaged, scarred, or diseased, it can affect your vision, cause discomfort, and even change the appearance of your eye.
At The Eye Center Surgeons and Associates , our fellowship-trained cornea specialist provide advanced diagnostics and customized treatments to help restore your vision, relieve pain, and protect your long-term eye health.
