It is linked to serious visual issues such blurred or distorted vision, heightened sensitivity to light, etc. While late stages require a corneal transplant to restore vision, early stages can be managed with spectacles and contact lenses.
Infectious diseases of the cornea

Pterygium
A pterygium is a triangular or wedge shaped growth that develops on the conjunctiva of the eye and grows onto the cornea, it’s a part of the ocular surface disorder. The treatment involves complete surgical excision and supporting that area with a new graft. As the surgical technique improves the chance of recurrence is low, compared to the past.
Ocular surface reconstruction
A relatively normal ocular surface may be restored by a variety of cutting-edge procedures carried out by our skilled surgeons in cases where an abnormal ocular surface results from medication side effects, ocular injury caused by acids or alkalis, or other conditions where the cornea and conjunctiva are severely scarred and lose their normal architecture.

Ocular surface squamous neoplasia
The term “ocular surface squamous neoplasia” (OSSN) refers to a broad range of diseases that affect the abnormal proliferation of squamous epithelial cells on the surface of the eye. People frequently aren’t aware that they have an OSSN lesion, and a diagnosis is only determined after a thorough, regular ocular examination. Nevertheless, due to inflammation, patients may experience redness and varying degrees of ocular discomfort.
Medical and surgical excision have shown excellent results with low chances of recurrences.
