Corneoscleral Tear Repair

Corneoscleral tear repair is a specialized surgical procedure offered at Desai Eye Hospital to address severe eye injuries involving both the cornea and the sclera, the white part of the eye. These types of tears typically result from trauma or accidents and can lead to significant pain, vision loss, and potential complications if not treated promptly. The procedure involves carefully stitching both the cornea and sclera to restore the structural integrity of the eye. The goal is to heal the eye, prevent infection, and preserve vision.

Depending on the severity of the tear, additional treatments such as a protective bandage contact lens or anti-inflammatory medications may be used to aid healing. At Desai Eye Hospital, our skilled ophthalmic surgeons use advanced techniques and cutting-edge equipment to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients. Early intervention and comprehensive post-surgery care are essential for minimizing the risk of complications, ensuring optimal recovery, and helping patients regain clear and healthy vision.
