TYPES OF CORNEAL DISORDERS
CORNEAL ABRASION
It means scratch in the cornea due to trauma and is very painful and can lead to eye infection which is further described below.
INFECTIOUS KERATITIS (CORNEA ULCER)
Infectious keratitis can be bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic. It leads to severe pain and can cause blindness.
CORNEAL ECTASIAS
In this disease ,the cornea becomes thin and bulges outward. This in turn causes astigmatism and drop in vision. The most common type is KERATOCONUS. It is mostly bilateral progressive disorder. In early stages. It is generally symptomatic and needs to be ruled out before any corneal refractive surgery. In later stages keratoconus can lead to corneal scarring & severe drop of vision.
CORNEAL DEGENERATION
This occurs mostly due to aging, environmental toxins, some systemic disease etc.It is associated with corneal thinning, vascularisation etc and is characterized by loss of transparency of cornea with subsequent loss of functional activity leading to progressive loss of vision. However, the most common type of corneal degeneration is ARCUS SENILIS which is symptomatic & does not cause any vision loss as it is in the periphery.
CORNEAL DYSTROPHY
These are a group of rare, genetic diseases. Characterized by bilateral abnormal deposition of substances leading to recurrent corneal erosion which causes severe pain and decrease in vision.
CORNEAL OPACITY
Any of the conditions mentioned above can cause corneal opacity which can be superficial or deep & can cause decrease of vision.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
Corneal blindness is one of the most common causes of blindness throughout the world. Early management in cases of progressive keratoconus helps to stop its progression and provides better refractive stability. Many corneal diseases, if diagnosed and treated on time, can prevent permanent blindness in eyes.
