Cornea Problems: Restoring Vision
The Cornea is the eyes front part to focus your eyesight.  ​However, your Cornea may be distorted due to many things. This makes it difficult to see clearly. For over 35 years, this has been the place to go for people like you to see better. 
​Keratoconus 
This is a thinning of the cornea (called ectasia) causing distorted vision. The reasons for this include genetic factors,
​eye rubbing or after lasik. An array of options will be discussed at your exam to best correct or restore your vision. Dr. Kurtin founded The Keratoconus Institute DFW - Devoted to bringing the latest technology to people suffering with Keratoconus.- Partnering with the National Keratoconus Foundation, UC, School of Medicine, Irvine, California. Ongoing research for CAIRS and CTAK surgery are the latest to smooth cornea for Keratoconus patients -

​Corneal Cross Linking
Corneal cross linking is mainly for Keratoconus. This procedure involves placing riboflavin (vitamin B2) drops on the cornea, which are then activated by ultraviolet (UV) light to strengthen the cornea. In many keratoconus patients it may stabilize vision. 

​Intacs or Intrastromal Corneal Ring Surgery
This place offers consultation on these tiny plastic corneal inserts. They are surgically implanted to re-shape the cornea for clearer vision. Intacs can make it easier to wear contact lenses or eyeglasses.

​Corneal Surgery
Some people reach the point where surgery can provide acceptable vision. This is when a cornea graft, dmek, dsek or keratoplasty is considered depending on which of the 5 corneal layers need repaired.  Dmek and dsek restores cornea clarity from a cloudy cornea like Fuch's Dystrophy. Working closely with Cornea surgeons- the Vision Specialists here will examine your eyes give expert advice to remedy your vision.
