Cornea and External Diseases Service

The Cornea and External Diseases Service is dedicated to excellence in patient care over the complete spectrum of medical and surgical problems involving the cornea and other anterior structures of the eye. The Cornea Service offers comprehensive capabilities for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that may benefit from corneal transplantation, complex cataract surgery, intraocular lens implant surgery, and even advanced laser vision correction procedures. This includes the latest technology for surgical procedures such as LASIK for the treatment of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
