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.
Irregular Corneal Astigmatism
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. This North Dallas eye center will examine your eyes and give expert advice on your eyesight.
