Cornea FAQs
What is keratoconus?
Keratoconus is an eye condition in which the normally dome-shaped cornea begins to thin and gradually bulges outward into a cone shape. As the cornea changes shape, light entering the eye becomes distorted, leading to worsening vision. It typically affects both eyes and often develops between the ages of 10 and 25. While complete vision loss is rare, keratoconus can severely impair your vision.
When is a corneal transplant needed?
A corneal transplant is a surgical procedure where part of your cornea is replaced with a donor cornea. When the cornea becomes cloudy due to scarring, swelling, or abnormal blood vessel development, a corneal transplant can help restore vision and reduce pain and discomfort. Our cornea specialists can help determine if you need a corneal transplant by performing a thorough eye exam.
What is a pterygium?
A pterygium is a noncancerous, wing-shaped growth on the cornea. It usually begins in the corner of your eye and grows toward your iris. Also known as “surfer’s eye,” it is more common in people who spend a lot of time outdoors without proper eye protection. If it has no noticeable symptoms, treatment may not be necessary; if it begins to affect your vision or cause discomfort, it can be surgically removed. Our cornea specialists can help determine the best course of treatment.
Retina FAQs
What causes retinal detachment?
A retinal detachment occurs when your retina—the layer of tissue in the back of the eye—separates from the tissues supporting it. There are three main causes: rhegmatogenous (small tears let gel-like fluid collect behind the retina), tractional (scar tissue pulls the retina away, most often in people with diabetes), and exudative (fluid builds up behind the retina without a tear). A detached retina is a serious condition and can lead to permanent vision loss. If you notice sudden changes in your vision, seek treatment from a retina specialist as soon as possible.
Are retinal injections painful?
Retinal injections are frequently used to treat a range of retinal conditions, including macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic macular edema (DME). As a minimally invasive treatment option, most patients report little to no pain following the procedure.
What is macular degeneration?
Macular degeneration is a progressive retinal disease that causes loss of vision over time. It is most often age-related and typically affects people over the age of 60, though a genetic form can develop in younger patients. While there is currently no cure, several treatment options can relieve symptoms and stall its progression. The retina specialists at Florida Eye Specialists can recommend a personalized treatment plan to protect your vision.
