I highly recommend Dr. Kalyani. He went above and beyond to accurately diagnose me and refer me to the appropriate specialist. He is knowledgeable, professional and treats me as a person instead of a set of symptoms. In addition, his entire staff mirrors his professionalism.

The cornea is the clear, outer layer on the front of the eye that functions in a number of ways to help provide clear, crisp vision. The cornea refracts or bends light rays to focus it on the retina in the back of the eye. In fact, the cornea contributes 65-75% of the eye's total focusing power.
It is important for the cornea to maintain transparency and optical clarity as well as normal curvature and thickness. There are many conditions and diseases that can affect the cornea. Infections, dry eyes, inflammation, ocular herpes, ocular shingles, poor contact lens hygiene, keratoconus, trauma, and genetic corneal dystrophies can all lead to the cornea becoming scarred or misshapen.
When corneal diseases can no longer be managed conservatively, corneal transplantation may be considered. Modern advancements now allow us to transplant layers of the cornea allowing for preservation of as much of your natural healthy cornea as possible. Our doctors are fellowship trained cornea specialists and have expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of corneal infections, injuries, and diseases.
