The cornea is the clear front surface of the eye. The cornea department deals with diseases of the cornea. Diseases affecting the cornea are a major cause of blindness all over the world, second only to cataract in overall importance. A range of infectious and inflammatory eye conditions affect the transparency of the cornea and cause corneal blindness. They add a substantial burden to the community in general and healthcare resources in particular all over the world. Further, individuals with corneal blindness are usually of a younger age group compared with those suffering from cataract. Hence, in terms of total blind years, the impact of corneal blindness is greater. The cornea department at Deep Eye Care Foundation Eye Hospital includes management of corneal eye diseases, anterior segment trauma and ocular surface disorders including dry eye, contact lens related eye problems and cornea transplant surgery services. With a largely rural agricultural community, there are a considerable number of patients with corneal ulcers who attend the department. Significant conditions managed in this clinic are infectious keratitis, keratoconus, corneal scar, foreign body impaction, corneal dystrophies, corneal injuries etc.
