Restoring Clarity with Corneal Care

The cornea is the clear front part of the eye and acts like a window, letting light into the eye and helping to focus vision. It is also responsible for protecting the inside of the eye from infection and injury. When the cornea is affected by diseases, your vision and overall eye health can be compromised. ReFocus Eye Health in Bloomfield offers specialized care to keep your vision vibrant and clear.

Corneal Diseases’ Impact on Your Vision

Corneal diseases encompass a range of conditions affecting the cornea’s clarity and shape, leading to blurred or distorted vision. Infections, injuries, genetic factors, or underlying health conditions can cause these diseases. When the cornea is damaged, it hampers your ability to see the world clearly, impacting your daily activities and overall quality of life.

Common Diseases and Issues
