Cornea
Clear vision relies heavily on a healthy cornea. Unfortunately, corneas can become injured or affected by disease, which can result in hindered vision. At STL Vision, our doctors specialize in treating all types of corneal issues, offering advanced and effective solutions.
Advanced Cornea Treatment
Cornea Transplants
Our expert fellowship trained doctors provide treatment for all types of corneal problems and diseases including erosions, corneal dystrophies, ulcers, edema, and pterygiums. If a cornea transplant is necessary, our doctors offer several surgical options.
During transplant surgery damaged or unhealthy cornea tissue is removed and clear donor cornea tissue is put in its place. A corneal transplant is done using a human donor cornea. Before a cornea is released for transplant, tests are done for viruses that cause hepatitis, AIDS and other potentially infectious diseases. The cornea is also checked for clarity.
We are happy to offer advanced cornea treatment at the same office patients know and trust for their routine eye care!
