Cornea surgery addresses damage or disease affecting the transparent front layer of the eye, known as the cornea. Conditions like keratoconus, corneal scarring, dystrophies, or edema may require surgical intervention to restore vision and relieve discomfort.
Specialized Surgical Center of Central NJ offers several advanced corneal procedures, including:
You may be a candidate if you have blurred vision not corrected by glasses, noticeable corneal thinning, swelling, scarring, or growths. Our team of doctors will evaluate your corneal health using specialized diagnostics.
No! Cornea surgeries are performed under local anesthesia, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. Mild irritation or sensitivity is common during early healing. But rest easy knowing we have everything under control.
Recovery depends on the procedure. Partial-thickness grafts often heal faster than full-thickness transplants. Some patients notice visual improvement within weeks, while full healing can take several months.
Not always. Some corneal conditions respond to non-surgical treatments or less invasive procedures. We will help determine the least invasive and most effective option for your condition.
