Corneal and Ocular Surface Disease

We treat corneal and ocular surface diseases, such as pterygium and other surface abnormalities. If you have been referred with a corneal concern, Dr. Calotti will examine the front surface of your eye in detail and recommend the most appropriate course of treatment.

Understanding Corneal Conditions

The cornea is the clear, curved front surface of the eye that focuses light onto the retina. If it becomes damaged, swollen, or irregularly shaped, vision can become blurred or distorted.

Common Conditions:

Corneal infections and inflammations
Keratoconus and dystrophies
Pterygium and surface abnormalities
Post-surgical corneal complications

What Causes Corneal Problems?

Corneal disease can result from infection, genetic conditions, trauma, contact lens overwear, or autoimmune disorders. UV exposure and dry environments can also contribute.

How Corneal Conditions Are Treated

Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include medicated drops, specialized contact lenses, surgical procedures, or cross-linking for progressive conditions such as keratoconus.

What Patients Can Expect:

Tailored Diagnostic Evaluation

Dr. Calotti uses detailed clinical examination and corneal topography to evaluate corneal health and identify early changes.

Personalized Treatment Options

From medication to minor surgical procedures, each plan is customized to restore comfort and clarity.

Long-Term Corneal Management

Regular monitoring helps protect vision and maintain corneal stability.
