Corneal Treatments

When medications and non-invasive treatments are not enough, Azure Eye Center offers advanced surgical options for patients in Fort Worth and Colleyville, TX suffering from severe or complex corneal conditions. Our board-certified ophthalmologist provides leading-edge surgical care with a focus on visual recovery and long-term outcomes.

Treatment Options for Corneal Disease

We offer a range of treatments tailored to your specific diagnosis:
  • Medications – Antibiotic, antifungal, or anti-inflammatory eye drops are often the first line of treatment for infections and inflammation.
  • Specialty Contact Lenses – For patients with keratoconus or corneal irregularities, rigid gas-permeable or scleral lenses may provide improved vision and comfort.
  • Surgical Interventions – When vision loss or structural damage becomes significant, we offer the following corneal surgeries:
This procedure involves gently removing the outer layers of the cornea to treat recurrent erosions, scars, or surface irregularities. It promotes healing and can be performed in-office.
Also known as a full-thickness corneal transplant, PKP replaces the entire damaged cornea with a healthy donor cornea. This procedure is typically used when all layers of the cornea are affected.
DSAEK is a partial-thickness transplant that replaces the back layer of the cornea, including the endothelium and Descemet’s membrane. It is used primarily for conditions like Fuchs’ Dystrophy and offers a quicker recovery time than full transplants.
DMEK is a more advanced version of endothelial keratoplasty that transplants only the endothelium and Descemet’s membrane. It provides sharper vision, lower rejection rates, and faster healing compared to DSAEK.
