Cornea Treatment and Surgery at Eye Clinic DRHC Dubai

Understanding Cornea:

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris and the pupil. It acts as a protective shield, safeguarding the delicate structures within the eye and enabling light to enter the eye for vision. This thin, dome-shaped layer plays a critical role in focusing light rays onto the retina, which then converts the light into signals sent to the brain, allowing us to perceive the world around us.

Cornea Treatment Options

At Dr. Rami Hamed Centre, our cornea specialists provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of corneal diseases and vision problems. Treatment is tailored to each patient's condition, symptoms, and stage of disease.

Non-Surgical Cornea Treatments

Medicated Eye Drops and Ointments

Many corneal conditions, including infections, inflammation, dry eye disease, and minor corneal injuries, can be successfully managed with prescription eye drops and ointments designed to reduce inflammation, relieve symptoms, and promote healing.

Bandage Contact Lenses

Bandage contact lenses are used to protect the corneal surface, reduce discomfort, and support healing in patients with corneal abrasions, recurrent corneal erosions, and other surface disorders.

Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL)

Corneal cross-linking is an advanced minimally invasive treatment used to strengthen the cornea and slow the progression of keratoconus. The procedure combines riboflavin eye drops with ultraviolet light to improve corneal stability and help preserve vision.

Corneal Surgical Procedures

When non-surgical treatments are not sufficient, our ophthalmology specialists offer advanced corneal surgical procedures to restore vision and improve eye health.

Corneal Transplantation (Keratoplasty)

Corneal transplantation, also known as corneal grafting or keratoplasty, involves replacing damaged corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue. It is one of the most effective treatments for advanced corneal disease and can significantly improve visual quality and daily functioning.

Types of corneal transplant surgery include:

  • Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP) – Full-thickness corneal transplant.
  • Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) – Partial-thickness transplant commonly used for keratoconus.
  • Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK / DMEK) – Replacement of the inner endothelial layer of the cornea.

Phototherapeutic Keratectomy (PTK)

Phototherapeutic Keratectomy (PTK) is a laser-based procedure used to treat corneal scars, surface irregularities, recurrent erosions, and certain corneal dystrophies by precisely reshaping the corneal surface.
