What is Corneal Infections & Diseases?
Comprehensive Corneal Care with Accurate Diagnosis, Advanced Treatment, & Specialized Management of Eye Surface Conditions in Siliguri.
Corneal infections and diseases affect the cornea, the clear outer layer of the eye that helps focus light and protects the internal structures. These conditions may develop due to bacterial, viral or fungal infections, injuries, improper contact lens use or underlying corneal disorders.
They may cause symptoms such as eye redness, pain, excessive watering, blurred vision, irritation, light sensitivity or a white spot on the cornea. Without timely treatment, certain conditions can lead to corneal scarring, reduced visual clarity or permanent vision loss.
At Siliguri Greater Lions Eye Hospital, our Corneal Infections & Diseases services focus on identifying the cause of corneal damage and providing appropriate treatment to control infection, manage inflammation and protect visual health.
The assessment begins with a detailed eye examination to evaluate corneal condition, identify signs of infection and determine the extent of damage. Based on the diagnosis, our ophthalmologists recommend suitable treatment, which may include medications, specialized eye drops or surgical intervention in advanced cases, along with regular follow-up to monitor recovery.
