Corneal Infections

Corneal infections/ infectious keratitis occurs when microorganisms manage to penetrate the outer layers of the cornea, compromising the integrity of the eye. This can result in endophthalmitis, painful blind eye or even loss of eye structure. Surgical management of corneal infections can be done by either injecting antibiotics into the cornea or by replacing the infected tissue with a healthy donor. When done well, vision can be successfully restored in these eyes. Darshan eye care has had a great track record in the treatment of infectious keratitis with many success stories, as evidenced in the above image.
