The cornea is the part of the eye that helps focus light so you can see clearly. Common corneal conditions include small abrasions, which usually heal on their own, however, deeper scratches or other injuries can cause corneal scarring and other vision problems. When it is damaged, it can often lead to vision loss.
Many corneal conditions can be treated with prescription eye drops or pills. If you have advanced corneal disease, you may need different treatment such as laser or corneal transplantation surgery.
If you choose to have cataract surgery, your doctor will review the procedure and discuss which lens replacement options are best for you.
