The cornea is your eye’s clear, protective outer layer which, along with the sclera (the white of your eye), serves as a barrier against dirt, germs, and all that can cause damage to your vision. The light that enters your eyes gets refracted or bent by the cornea’s curved edge which helps determine how well your eyes can focus on objects that are up close and far away. If your cornea is damaged it might block or distort the light that enters your eye, causing trouble with your vision.
We at MediVision offer Corneal transplantation, which involves replacement of a damaged or diseased cornea with healthy tissue from a donor. The surgery is performed in conditions where the transparency and refractive power of the cornea is lost.

The various types of procedures available are,

  • DSEK: Descemet’s Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty is a corneal transplant technique in which the unhealthy, diseased, posterior portion of cornea is removed and replaced with healthy donor tissue.
  • DALK: Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty is a partial-thickness cornea transplant procedure that involves selective transplantation of the corneal stroma, leaving the native Descemet membrane and endothelium just in place.
  • PKP: Penetrating keratoplasty involves the removal and replacement of damaged and scarred corneas.
  • The Cross linkage procedure(C3R): This procedure is performed using UV light and a photosensitizer to strengthen chemical bonds in the cornea. Progressive keratoconus and iatrogenic ectasia can be stabilized by corneal cross-linking.
  • Refractive eye surgery: This surgery aims at improving the refractive state of the eye. It decreases and even eliminates dependency on glasses or contact lenses in many cases. There are various kinds of surgeries available for correcting refractive errors in the eyes.

We at MediVision use the CL-UVR Corneal Cross-Linking machine which is not only easy to use, but also features adjustable Illumination, fine focusing system, movable floor stand, rotatable arm, and homogenized UV Radiation System to help your eyes and make them healthy.

Commonly known as surfer’s eye, pterygium is a growth of pink, fleshy tissue called the conjunctiva, on the clear tissue that lines your eyelids and covers your eyeball. The condition mostly develops because of excess exposure to ultraviolet light, dry eyes, or irritants like dust and wind.
The condition does not have any symptoms at times, but generally, your eyes might just burn, feel gritty, itch, look red or you might feel something is stuck in it.
We at MediVision have ophthalmologists who are experienced and hold an expertise in treating all kinds of eye related ailments. As for this condition, initially our doctors will try and treat it with medication and eye drops. If the condition worsens, a surgery can be recommended.
Surgery is recommended only when all conventional treatments fail to work. A common autograft surgery uses the tissue of your conjunctiva or a placenta to fill the empty space after the lesion is removed. This filler is placed by gluing or stitching it onto the affected area.
We promote prevention of such conditions by the usage of sunglasses that block 99-100% of both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. We at MediVision suggest the wraparound style of sunglasses because they provide the best shield against ultraviolet light, dust, and wind. Do not leave behind your sunglasses on overcast days, it should be noted that the clouds don’t stop ultraviolet (UV) light, you still need protection.
We at MediVision have a range of shades, brands and frames for you to choose from. If there is a specific designer frame that you are looking for, feel free to call and speak to one of our frame experts, who will be happy to help you out.

Corneal collagen cross-linking is a technique which uses UV light and a photosensitizer to strengthen chemical bonds in the cornea. Studies claim that progressive keratoconus and iatrogenic ectasia can be stabilized by corneal cross-linking. The CL-UVR Corneal Cross-Linking is not only easy to use, but also features adjustable Illumination, fine focusing system, movable floor stand, rotatable arm, and homogenized UV Radiation System.
