Diseases and conditions affecting the cornea can be responsible for severe damage to the eyes, leading to deterioration and even total loss of vision. Our corneal surgeon at New Eyes, Dr. Stephen Kaufman, is experienced with a range of treatments designed to improve disorders of the cornea, and can help you significantly decrease the symptoms and risks to your vision that these conditions can cause. We utilize state-of-the-art technology and advanced treatment techniques – including procedures that are less invasive than full corneal transplant surgery – that can often be performed on an outpatient basis.
Corneal Transplantation
New Eyes offers a number of corneal transplantation procedures designed to help patients who are suffering from corneal injuries, abrasions, infection, swelling, and other factors that may be harming your ability to see and could ultimately have devastating consequences for your vision. Our corneal surgeons can perform a corneal transplant to reduce vision loss and restore corneal health.
Pterygium Surgery
Excessive tearing, irritation, eye discoloration, and even vision loss may be the result of pterygium – a growth that affects the cornea and is often caused by dry, dusty environments and excessive sun exposure. This progressive condition can be treated with advanced treatment options available from our corneal surgeon.
Corneal Crosslinking
Corneal collagen crosslinking is an advanced technique designed to strengthen and stabilize eyes that have been affected by keratoconus or corneal ectasia. This procedure can help prevent further deterioration of vision and often prevents the need for more complex treatments, such as a corneal transplant.
