Corneal conditions vary, but common signs include the following. Any of them — particularly with pain or a sudden drop in vision — is a reason to be examined promptly.
Redness and eye pain.
Swelling and sensitivity to light.
Blurry vision.
Watering or discharge.
Sometimes no symptoms at all — found on a routine eye exam.
Each condition has different causes and treatments — which is exactly why an accurate diagnosis matters. Explore the specific condition that fits your symptoms.
An infected sore on the cornea that needs urgent treatment to protect sight.
Corneal ulcer treatmentInflammation or infection of the cornea, from bacteria, viruses, fungi or contact-lens misuse.
Corneal infection careInherited clouding of the cornea that usually affects both eyes and progresses slowly.
Corneal dystrophy treatmentA thinning, cone-shaped cornea that distorts vision — often managed with cross-linking (CXL).
Keratoconus treatmentAn unstable tear film that leaves the cornea dry, gritty and sensitive — very common and treatable.
Dry eye treatmentA fleshy growth spreading onto the cornea that can blur vision and cause irritation.
Pterygium treatmentPrevention matters as much as treatment. Simple daily habits protect the cornea; and when disease is present, we treat it medically or surgically depending on the cause and severity.
Small habits that meaningfully lower your risk.
Practise good contact-lens hygiene.
Wear protective eyewear.
Don’t rub your eyes.
Stop smoking.
Control diabetes.
Have regular eye tests.
From the least invasive option upward — matched to your diagnosis.
Targeted drops and medication for infection, inflammation and dry eye.
Strengthens and stabilises a thinning cornea, most often in keratoconus.
PTK, lamellar or full-thickness transplant to restore clarity when scarring or clouding affects vision.
Suitability and outcomes depend on the specific condition. Individual results vary; consult with our doctors.
Cost depends on the specific condition and the treatment it needs — from drops for an infection, to cross-linking, to a corneal transplant. See our cornea cost page for the full table (CXL, transplant, ulcer, pterygium and more).
Indicative starting-from ranges (from the centre’s Verified Clinical Data 2024–2025), subject to consultation and examination; insurance/scheme coverage varies by policy.
