Cornea

The cornea is the outermost surface of your eye and is often thought of as the “window” that covers the front of your eye. The cornea both protects your eye and helps refract, or focus, light onto the back of your eye for clear vision. There are a number of diseases and conditions that can affect the shape and health of your cornea. At Southern Eye Center, our corneal specialists offer a full menu of corneal surgeries and treatments to ensure the long-term health of your cornea, as well as specialized procedures to optimize the performance of your cornea for clearer vision.
