What do Cornea and External Diseases Specialists do?

Cornea and External Diseases Specialist Physicians diagnose and treat diseases of the eye’s front surface, including the cornea, conjunctiva, and eyelids. 

They manage conditions like infections (keratitis), inflammation, dry eye, and corneal dystrophies, using medical treatments, specialized eye drops, and surgical procedures such as corneal transplants. 

Their goal is to preserve or restore vision and ocular health. 

Common conditions they treat

Keratitis: Inflammation or infection of the cornea, caused by bacteria, viruses (e.g., herpes), or other organisms. 

Corneal dystrophies: A group of inherited conditions that can affect the cornea’s clarity and function. 

Dry eye and blepharitis: Conditions affecting the ocular surface and eyelids. 

Conjunctivitis: Commonly known as “pink eye,” an inflammation of the conjunctiva. 

Keratoconus: A condition where the cornea thins and develops a cone shape. 

Corneal abrasions and injuries: Scratches or damage to the cornea. 

Tumors: Abnormal growths on the surface of the eye. 

Surgical and advanced procedures

Cataract surgery is especially important for patients with corneal issues. 

Corneal transplantation: Full or partial-thickness replacement of the damaged cornea with a donor cornea. 

Corneal cross-linking: A procedure to strengthen the cornea in conditions like keratoconus. 

Artificial cornea transplants (keratoprosthesis): Implantation of an artificial cornea.
