Diagnostics & technology
Cornea diagnostics.
Stabilising a cornea that is changing.
The ocular surface, measured.
The condition
What is happening.
The cornea is the eye’s clear outer dome. Injury, infection or scarring distorts the light passing through it, causing pain, redness and severe loss of vision. Ocular surface disease — from dry eye to Stevens–Johnson Syndrome and chemical burns — attacks the same delicate surface.
Signs to watch for
When to come in.
- Scarred or opaque cornea
- Severe pain, redness or light sensitivity
- Burning, gritty, persistently dry eyes
- Distorted or blocked vision
- Surface disease that will not heal
Our approach
How we treat it.
Full-thickness and lamellar transplantation including DSEK, DMEK, DALK and ALK, collagen crosslinking for keratoconus, and a dedicated ocular surface department covering meibography, chemical injury management and surface reconstruction.
Why EYON
What sets this apart.
EYON is a Government of India authorised centre for corneal transplantation under the Human Organ Transplantation Act 1994, and among the very few institutes anywhere in India with a dedicated ocular surface department.
Questions
What patients ask.
What is the difference between penetrating and lamellar keratoplasty?
Penetrating keratoplasty replaces the entire thickness of the cornea. Lamellar techniques such as DSEK, DMEK, DALK and ALK replace only the diseased layers, which usually means faster recovery and less rejection risk.
Is EYON authorised to perform transplants?
Yes — authorised under the Human Organ Transplantation Act 1994 for corneal transplantation.
Can a transplant restore vision after corneal blindness?
In carefully selected cases, grafting restores useful vision where the rest of the eye is healthy. Evaluation determines whether the cornea is the only barrier.
