DR. GADGIL EYE HOSPITAL · THANE
Cornea Care in Thane
Assessment of the eye’s clear front surface, with a care plan based on the cause of your symptoms.
Understanding your eye care
The cornea is the clear front layer of the eye and helps focus light. Infection, injury, dryness, scarring or changes in its shape can affect comfort and vision. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so an examination is important.
Your consultation
Symptoms
Explain when pain, redness, light sensitivity or blurred vision began and whether one or both eyes are affected.
Lens and injury history
Tell the doctor about contact lens wear, anything entering the eye and previous surgery.
Previous treatment
Bring your prescriptions and drops, including any products you obtained without a prescription.
Assessment and preparation
The doctor examines the corneal surface and decides whether further tests are needed. The hospital’s documented equipment includes Pentacam, which supports assessment of corneal shape. Not every symptom needs the same investigation.
Treatment and ongoing care
Care may involve prescribed medicines, contact-lens management or specialist procedures, depending on the diagnosis. Some conditions require a corneal specialist. Discuss the proposed treatment, follow-up and any referral needed. Avoid self-starting steroid eye drops or using someone else’s prescription.
When to seek prompt help
Pain, marked light sensitivity or reduced vision—especially in a contact lens wearer—needs prompt assessment. An eye injury or chemical exposure requires urgent medical attention.
What our patients say
Questions patients ask
Is every red eye a corneal infection?
No. Several conditions can cause redness. Examination helps identify the cause and appropriate treatment.
Will I need surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment depends on the condition and its severity; a consultation is not a commitment to a procedure.
