Cornea Care
Expert Care for the Front of the Eye
Physicians at EyeHealth Northwest are trained to diagnose and care for patients with corneal problems. We have eight fellowship-trained corneal specialists available for consultation and surgery.
Understanding the Cornea
What Is the Cornea?
The cornea is like a crystal covering a clock face. It is a clear, round dome covering the iris (the colored ring in the center of the eye) and the pupil (the black circle in the middle of the iris). The cornea plays an important role in vision by helping to focus light as it enters the eye.
Eye Injuries
Prompt Care When It Matters Most
The cornea is especially susceptible to injury. Foreign objects, abrasions, sports injuries, and chemical burns can all lead to serious harm and even blindness. Proper and timely care of an injured cornea is critical to ensure the best outcome.
The doctors at EyeHealth Northwest work closely with the emergency room staff at all of the major hospitals in the Portland metropolitan area. An EyeHealth Northwest physician is available for emergency calls 24 hours a day. Answering service operators are accessible through our clinic phone.
