Corneal diseases encompass a range of conditions that affect the cornea, the clear, outer layer of the eye, leading to symptoms such as pain, blurred vision, redness, and sensitivity to light. Common corneal diseases include keratitis (inflammation), keratoconus (thinning and bulging), and corneal dystrophies (genetic conditions causing abnormal deposits). These conditions can result from infections, injuries, genetic factors, or underlying health issues. Treatment options vary depending on the specific disease and its severity, ranging from medications and corrective lenses to surgical interventions like corneal transplants.
Patients are the experts in their condition and advocacy groups provide a platform for patient voices. Working directly with these communities is the key to pushing research forward in an inclusive way.
Corneal diseases are a group of eye conditions that affect millions of individuals worldwide, often remaining overlooked and misunderstood. At Leapcure, we have spoken with numerous patients and advocates, and we are committed to providing resources and support for those impacted by corneal diseases.
