Solutions for Corneal Disease

The cornea plays a vital role in our vision, serving as the transparent dome at the front of the eye. Its remarkable clarity allows light to pass through, while its refractive ability helps focus the light precisely onto the retina. However, various corneal conditions can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to vision loss and impairment.
