Corneal Center: Advanced Care for Every Layer of the Cornea

At our Corneal Center in Mountain View, CA, we believe your cornea deserves the same level of specialized care and precision as any other part of your eye. The cornea—the clear dome at the front of the eye—plays a vital role in vision clarity. When it’s healthy, it bends light correctly and supports crisp, sharp vision. When it’s compromised, you may experience blurred vision, light sensitivity, or discomfort.

We treat a wide spectrum of corneal conditions including keratoconus, corneal ectasia, persistent corneal erosion, dry‑eye‑related surface disease, corneal cross‑linking, and transplant requirements. We also handle the corneal evaluation aspects of refractive procedures like LASIK, PRK, SMILE, and lens‑based surgery.

Why Corneal Health Matters

• The cornea contributes about 70–75% of the eye’s focusing power, so even small irregularities can significantly affect vision.
• A thin, bulging, or irregular cornea can lead to conditions such as keratoconus or post‑surgical ectasia, which threaten vision stability and safety.
• Because many vision correction procedures reshape the cornea (for example LASIK), evaluating corneal thickness, strength, and shape is essential to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.

What to Expect During Your Visit

1. Detailed history & symptoms review – We’ll ask about your vision changes, family history (particularly corneal disease), contact‑lens wear, eye allergies, and past surgeries.
2. Corneal imaging and measurements – Using high‑precision equipment we map your corneal thickness, curvature, surface irregularities, and biomechanics.
3. Discussion of findings & options – If we find corneal conditions, we’ll explain what they mean, how they may affect your vision or surgical eligibility, and present treatment options.
4. Tailored treatment plan – Whether you need conservative management, surgical intervention, or a referral, we’ll create a plan that prioritizes safety and vision quality.
5. Ongoing follow‑up and monitoring – Conditions like keratoconus progress gradually, so long‑term monitoring is essential. We’ll guide you through when and how often to check back in.
