Corneal Tear Repair

Corneal tear repair is a critical procedure offered at Desai Eye Hospital to treat injuries to the cornea, the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. Corneal tears can result from trauma, foreign objects, or accidents, causing pain, blurred vision, and potential vision loss. At Desai Eye Hospital, our experienced ophthalmologists utilize advanced techniques to repair these tears effectively. The procedure involves stitching the tears together to promote healing and restore the integrity of the cornea.

In some cases, a protective bandage contact lens may be applied to aid the healing process and reduce discomfort. Early intervention is essential to prevent complications such as infection, scarring, or permanent vision damage. The team at Desai Eye Hospital ensures that patients receive comprehensive care, from diagnosis to post-surgery follow-up, ensuring optimal recovery. With state-of-the-art technology and a commitment to patient well-being, Desai Eye Hospital provides the highest standard of care for corneal tear repair, helping patients regain clear, healthy vision.
