CORNEA CLINIC IN NASHIK
The cornea is the transparent front portion of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. The cornea, with the anterior chamber and lens, refracts light, with the cornea representing roughly 66% of the eye’s total optical power. Corneal blindness is a very common cause of avoidable blindness in our country.
Dr. Bapaye Hospital serves as a referral center for management of complex corneal problems like infective corneal ulcers, chemical burns, unresponsive allergic conjunctivitis from the city as well as neighboring villages.
Dr. Bapaye Hospital offers Corneal topography and C3R for keratoconus, as well as lamellar and penetrating keratoplasty (corneal transplants) for corneal diseases.
We are Best Cornea Clinic in Nashik with a well-equipped cornea eye bank that is being used for treating patients with corneal disorders.
Corneal Topography system used for measurements of corneal curvature and aberrations. It is employed in patients suspected of having corneal abnormalities like Keratoconus.
Corneal topography provides more data, quantitates corneal shape, and measures patterns of irregular and induced astigmatism. Corneal topography used to be considered a specialized test to diagnose corneal pathology or to help fit contact lenses, but since the introduction of laser vision correction in the mid-1990s, it has become a common test used to screen potential surgical candidates. With the refinements in cataract surgery techniques and technology, particularly advanced IOLs, corneal topography is an essential part of the preoperative workup. In addition, it is valuable for detecting subtle irregularities of the corneal epithelium (i.e., anterior basement membrane dystrophy) and tear film (dry eye).
For measurement of corneal thickness.
Corneal Collagen Cross-Linker (Eyeroc UVX-1000)
The device was developed by the pioneer of corneal collagen cross-linking, Prof. Theo Seiler. This is used in the treatment of keratoconus to stop the progression of disease and stabilizing refractive error.
