Understanding Cornea

The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped front surface of the eye, contributing approximately 70% of the eye’s total focusing power and playing a critical role in directing light onto the retina for clear vision. Any disease, injury, or infection affecting the cornea can significantly impair vision, ranging from mild blurring to complete visual loss.

At Drishtikunj Netralaya, Danapur, Patna, our experienced cornea specialists diagnose and treat a wide range of corneal conditions using advanced diagnostic technologies such as Specular Microscopy, corneal topography, and slit-lamp biomicroscopy.
